Security Tips for the Office

Lock your office whenever you leave, even if you will only be gone for a minute.

Keep your purse, wallet and other valuables in a secure location, such as a locked desk or filing cabinet. Immediately report to the college police any suspicious person loitering in your area.

Report all crimes, no matter how minor they may seem, to the college police.

If you receive an annoying or obscene phone call, hang up. Write down the time of the call, what the caller said, and note any background noises you may have heard. Call the college police.

If you work at night, avoid working alone. Keep all outside doors locked.

Walk with other employees to and from your car.

If you are entrusted with a key to a specific area, never loan it to anyone.

Keys can be easily lost, stolen or duplicated.
