Emily’s Crime Watch – Tip #29 (Campus Safety)

To ensure your personal safety, it is considered to be a shared responsibility. It is important to think and act in ways to increase your personal safety, such as on a college campus.

Here are a few things to remember to guard yourself when you move around freely on any college campus during the day or at night.

· Use well-lit areas when walking at night. These areas should be well-traveled and open routes to your destination. Travel these same areas even in the daytime.

· If at all possible, don’t walk alone at night. Find a friend, walk in groups, or have someone meet you at a well-lit area. If you feel uneasy and are alone, contact the campus security for an escort.

· Let a friend or even a professor know if your routine changes for any reason.

· Familiarize yourself with emergency call phones around campus.

· Plan ahead of your routes going to class, library, and events.

· Don’t go to an ATM at night.

· Walk assertively, be alert to everything around you. Dress appropriately for movement, wear low-heeled shoes, and don’t carry too many bags or packages.

· Have your car keys in hand before leaving any building. Get into your vehicle quickly and lock your doors immediately.

· Don’t prop outside doors open that should be locked.

· Carry a whistle or other noise-making device to alert other if there’s a problem.

· Police advise saying “No” to requests for money from strangers and avoid confrontation.

· If you feel threatened for any reason, contact the police or campus security.

· Report ALL suspicious activity to police or campus security.

· Trust your instincts!

High Tech Alert: Twitter Helps Law Enforcement

The Modesto Police Department in California has stepped up into the evolving age of technology. They have implemented the social network Twitter for updates on major investigations, traffic accidents, and news releases about investigations. There are over 3,400 followers who receive these updates.

Twitter is another tool used to find out what’s going on in your city. The police scanner was used to find out where sirens were heading and why there were so many patrol cars parked at a specific location. Now, Twitter can update followers on many handheld devices instantly and discreetly.

As with any form of technology, there are good points and some bad ones. As with anything new, there are some kinks to work out.

Pros:

· Warns neighborhoods of suspects at large and to stay inside.

· Let’s motorists know to steer clear of major accident areas.

· Helps with child abduction and missing person cases. Keeps everyone informed – both law enforcement and the public.

· Contributes to more eyes on the street.

· Tool to help get the message out to large amount of people quickly.

· Can send out information immediately and with little effort.

· It’s like an Online Neighborhood Watch.

Cons:

· Some details could put officers at risk, especially during a manhunt.

· Can hamper police work due to rapidly changing incidents or unverified information.

· Due to such quick information being distributed, there isn’t a procedure to check facts first before posting.

· It’s raw information, and may not be what has actually occurred.

Emily’s Crime Watch – Tip #28 (School Safety)

It’s important for parents, students, school boards, principals, superintendents, teachers, school staff, and community professionals to be involved in maintaining a safe environment for children.

Safe Travel to and from School:

1) Form a safety committee that implements safety to and from school, which includes buses, cars, walking, and bicycles. Get involved. If there is already a safety committee, then make sure it’s up to date or voice your concerns.

2) Safety route maps that show the safest routes to and from school. For example, streets that has crossing guards. Once a route is chosen for your child, walk with your child to point out any hazards to watch for.

Here are a few things to remember and to ask about at the next parent-teacher meeting. All of these questions should be addressed and updated periodically.

School Safety Checklist:

1) Is student safety a priority?

2) Do parents have access to reports that include information about violent incidents at the school?

3) Does the school have safety procedures for responding to unsafe situations?

4) Does the school address ways to prevent and respond to a crisis?

5) Has someone for the school designated a coordinator to maintain a healthy and safe environment?

6) Are counselors and/or psychologists available to work with students who are troubled and/or disruptive?

7) What does the school do when students come to them with concerns about safety?

8) Are parents and students involved in activities that promote school safety?

9) Does the school have fair, firm, and consistent discipline policies?

10) Is safety addressed in all areas: cafeteria, physical education, classrooms, playgrounds, after-school programs, etc.?
