There are positive things you can do to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of personal or property crimes. The following are some suggestions:
- Make sure your room/office doors are locked at night or when unattended
- Mark all valuable personal belongings
- Fill out a Property Idenfication Form and keep it in a safe place
- Your personal property should be insured against theft or casualty loss
- Do not prop open exterior doors for convenience of access - it can compromise the safety of other occupants within the building
- Walk and jog with friends if you choose to exercise in the early morning hours or after dark
- Heed your instincts and don't take unnecessary risks
- Report all suspicious circumstances or persons to Campus Public Safety or the police
- Report all crimes, no matter how minor or insignificant
- If you have been victimized, call us! If we're not able to help, we can refer you to the people who can.
- Register your bicycles with Ashland Police Department through Campus Public Safety
