Always lock your bedroom, apartment and exterior door.
Never leave any valuables out in the open and walk away from them, even if only for a few minutes.
Use the SLC Identiguard program
When walking at night, try to walk in groups or use the campus shuttle.
When walking, plan your route in advance and know where to find emergency phones.
Immediately report any suspicious persons or activity to security and the police.
When not in your room, close and lock all windows, especially windows that can be easily reached from ground level.
If you go inside your room and find evidence of a break-in, don't disturb or touch anything. The police can possibly dust for fingerprints. Call security immediately.
If you spot a burglar leaving your residence, don't try to stop him. Call security and the police immediately.
