Campus Safety and Police reminds students that the best security system is one in which every member of the community is alert. This means,among other things that students should remember to:

• lock their residence hall doors and take their keys with them;
• not go anywhere alone at night;
• report all suspicious persons immediately by calling 9-1-1, 336-278-5555, or via the LiveSafe app;
• never leave personal possessions unattended; and
• engrave all valuables in a conspicuous place with one's license number.

Any problem involving theft should be reported immediately to the Office of Campus Safety and Police by calling 9-1-1 or (336) 278-5555.
