OPS: Keeping Students Safe
Issue date: 8/29/08 Section: News
• Trust your instincts and use good judgment.
• Use common sense. Avoid being alone or with someone you do not know.
• Communicate to others where you are going and with whom.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Walk in groups whenever possible.
• Travel in populated, well-lit areas.
• Use Go West, the University's transit system, or the after-dark OPS Student Patrol escort service.
• Lock your doors, even if you are gone for only a few minutes.
• Do not leave backpacks, books, purses or personal property unattended.
• Avoid the use of alcohol and drugs-they impair good judgment.
If you have concerns or questions or need to report a crime or suspicious behavior, please call OPS immediately or visit Mowbray Hall at any time. Individuals who have a comment or an issue can also file a report at wiu.edu/ops/comments.php. You can also find additional campus security information at wiu.edu/ops.
Providing community service is our foundation. We investigate public safety problems and seek solutions which result in a safe, secure and accessible a campus as possible.
We look forward to working with each of you to make the 2008-2009 a successful and safe school year.
