  • Always travel in pairs with trusted companions, especially at night or in remote areas.
  • At night, walk-in well-lighted pedestrian routes.
  • On-campus, use shuttle service, Froggy 5-0, and other escort services when available.
  • When reporting suspicious activity, be a good witness. Describe exactly what you observe with as many details as possible. Give complete descriptions such as sex, race, height, weight, hair color, clothing, etc. If a vehicle is involved, note the color, make, model, and, if possible the license plate.
