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.
