University Security Services wants you to stay safe as you experience all that Rochester has to offer. Please take a moment to review these safety tips...and enjoy Rochester every day.

• Stay aware of your surroundings. Keep alert to the activity around you.
• Know how to summon help in an emergency...on or off campus.
• Learn some facts about the place you are visiting...before you go.
• Travel in Groups whenever possible. There is strength in numbers.
• Walk with a purpose. Look confident and keep your head up.
• Make eye contact with others as you pass them.
• Carry only the cash or bank cards that you really need.
• Tell a friend or roommate where you will be, and when you expect to return.
• When travelling by car, park in well lighted areas close to your destination.
• Watch for strangers loitering in parking lots and other areas around your destination.
• Use well lighted, well travelled routes or pathways.
• If you're followed, go to a public place and ask for help.
• Carry some emergency money (phone call, cab ride). Keep it separate from your purse/wallet.
• Don't leave personal belongings unattended...even for a moment.
• Remember to buckle up, and please, don't drink and drive!
