Security in the Residence Halls

IMPORTANT CAMPUS SAFETY TIPS:

• Always lock your room door—even if you are just down the hall.
• Do not let anyone you do not recognize into the residence hall.
• Escort your guests at all times.
• If you keep valuables in your room, keep them locked up.
• Engrave all your valuables and appliances with your driver’s license number. Talk to the Campus Police about borrowing an engraver!
• Never, under any circumstance, give your room key or student ID to anyone.
• When studying on campus, always keep your belongings within view.
• Always tell a friend or roommate where you are going—you don’t want people to worry about you unnecessarily.
• Be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.
• Avoid walking alone at night. Opt to walk with a group of friends or call Campus Police for an escort.
• Walk in well lit areas.
• Report anything suspicious to Campus Police immediately.
• Know where the emergency call boxes are located on campus. There are 14 of them throughout campus.
• Remember, alcohol and/or drugs are involved in 90% of campus crimes.
• Cedar Crest Campus Police consists of 17 full and part time employees, so there is always someone on hand to help.
