Periodically, there are crimes on or near the St. Thomas campus.  Below are some crime prevention tips from the Campus Public Safety Office:

·       Do not wear earphones when walking or running alone outside, especially if it is dark.  This potentially cuts off audible signals of threats to your safety.
·       Call Public Safety to escort you to your destination.
·       Walk in groups – there is safety in numbers.
·       Don’t take unnecessary risks. Stay in populated, well-lit areas.
·       Report crimes immediately to Public Safety and the police.
·       Remember suspect information, including approximate age, height, weight and details on hair, clothing, jewelry, scars, tattoos – anything noticeable.
·       Use a buddy system with your trusted friends to watch out for one another.

Public Safety urges you to be proactive and alert. You can help prevent crime!
