Holiday Crime Prevention Tips

Posted on December 19, 2014 by JunSian Lee

Dear all,

I thought it is good to share some tips from UBC Campus Security with you, wish you can see in the picture below.

The Top TWO tips that I think are most important are

If you have personal valuables in your workspace, they should be taken home or locked out of sight securely until you return.
If you will be working on campus during the Holidays, be aware of your personal safety.; let someone know where you are and when you expect to return.

If you witness a crime in progress, call 911 immediately. Report any suspicious activity immediately to Campus Security at 604-822-2222.
