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

action, leave the building or go to the designated shelter area
