Protect your property
Thieves target office buildings, libraries, restaurants, residence halls and other places wherever people gather. Wallet, purse, and backpack theft make up a large percentage of personal property theft. If you work in an office, you can reduce the opportunity for theft by taking a few simple precautions:
- Do not leave your wallet/purse in unlocked desks, cabinets, or in the open.
- Lock up your desk when you leave.
- Lock your door when you leave, even if you are gone for a short time.
- Create an office or building watch program within your building, working with other residents to watch each others' offices and property. If you would like suggestions on how to start a program like this, call the Manager, Security Services on Ext. 34034.
- Maintain strict key control to all offices in your building.
