Public Safety Tips
Campus & personal safety is everyone’s responsibility
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times
• It is your personal responsibility to be mindful of choices made with circle of
friends and associates
• Trust your instincts. (If a situation feels wrong, then it is wrong)
• Be mindful of tailgating: Tailgating is following or walking closely behind a
resident into a secured or locked facility without permission and without being
identified by staff. These incidents should be reported to resident staff and
DPS
• Being intoxicated, buzzed or drunk are not excuses for breaking the law or
committing crimes. There are no exceptions!!!
