The City College Police Department urges faculty and staff to take active responsibility for their personal safety. They recommend:
• Walk with confidence to not be perceived as a potential victim.
• Prepare yourself to respond to various situations, and think defensively.
• Laptops, purses and other personal belongings should never been left unattended, even if it is just for a brief period of time.
• Always lock your vehicle, and remove all valuables from open view.
• Park in well-lit areas. Walk with a group or another person and have your keys in your hand when approaching your vehicle.
• Check the inside of your car so before opening the door.
• Be aware of your surroundings - if you feel you are being followed abruptly switch directions or cross the street. If someone is still following you go to a public place and ask for help. Call campus police at (415) 239-3200 or 911.
• Most crimes occur when an opportunity presents itself. Use common sense, and trust your instincts.
