Classrooms and Conference Rooms
Make note of the room number of your classroom or conference room so if an emergency arises you will know where you are and can direct first responders to the proper location.  Make sure of the phone location in the room, and ensure the phone is working.  Make note of the closest emergency exits and shelter areas. Emergency procedures are posted in hallways, offices, classrooms, and conference rooms.  In the event of an emergency, contact College Police by dialing 911 from any college phone.

Offices
Make note of emergency exits and shelters near your office area.  Know where the first aid supplies and fire extinguishers are located.  Secure all valuables by locking them up so they are out of sight.  Personal information and student personal information should be kept secure.  When you leave your office, even for a few minutes, lock your desk, files, and office door.  If you work after hours or on weekends, please report to the College Police department to sign in. College Police need to know who is on campus and where individuals are located on campus, should an emergency occur.

Lights and Locks 
Remember to shut down all equipment, turn off the lights, and lock the doors when leaving an office, conference room, or classroom. In areas with windows that can be opened, check to be sure they are closed and latched. This will promote safety, security and energy conservation.

Personal Belongings
Keep your belongings with you or lock them in a safe place. Never leave your belongings unattended, even for a few minutes.  When using the restroom, keep your backpack, purse, or other belongings out of the sight and reach of others.

Textbooks
Keep your textbooks with you or leave them locked in a secure location.  Mark your books in a unique way you will remember, such as writing your initials on the inside margin of a certain page. This will help identify your books should they be lost or stolen.  To prevent identity theft, never write personal identifying information (such as your full name, address, or phone number) inside your books.  Report all thefts immediately to College Police.

Locker Rooms
When using the gym or fitness facilities, always secure your belongings in a locker with a padlock.  While showering ensure your locker is locked. It only takes a second for a thief to steal your belongings.  Do not store valuable items in lockers. Lockers and locks can be broken open by thieves.Valuables should be locked in the trunk of your vehicle.

Vehicles
Park only in legal spaces.  Roll up the windows and lock all the doors.  Keep valuables out of sight, preferably locked in the trunk.

Personal Safety Tips
Walk to your car in groups.  If you cannot find someone to walk you to your car, call College Police (586.445.7135 South Campus, or 586.286.2123 Center Campus).  Have your car door key, office key, or remote opener in your hand and ready to use before walking to your car or office. If an emergency occurs, you will be ready to open your door.  Carry a cell phone.  Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Keep your eyes and ears open.  Trust your instincts.  If you are being bothered or followed, call 911. Walk to a College office and ask them to call 911, or ask a passerby to call 911. Do not go to your car or to a remote area.  Report suspicious persons or activity to College Police immediately.
