IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ULPD offers safety tips for students
The University of Louisville Police Department and Louisville Metro Police made two arrests Tuesday in connection to two reported robberies on campus.
ULPD would like to remind our students we are continuing to work diligently to reduce crime and the fear of crime on and around campus. Our officers are continuing high visibility patrols and I encourage you to approach them with any questions or concerns you may have at any time. I would also like to thank you for caring about your safety and the safety of your fellow students. Your vigilance is a key factor in crime prevention, so please read and follow each of these important safety tips.
Key Campus Safety Tips:
- Call 911 for emergencies. If you are not in an emergent situation, but are even a little uncomfortable about a situation, call the ULPD non-emergency number (502) 852-6111. Add this to your contacts right now.
- Walk in groups or pairs. Use the L-Trail. http://www.santafedesignstudio.com/cardsafety/l-trail-map
- Be aware of who is around you and pay attention to vehicles. If someone looks like they don’t belong on campus, avoid them and call ULPD.
- Use the Card Cruiser for campus escorts which is available between dusk and dawn by calling (502) 852-6111. This is a popular service so call early and wait patiently in a safe place until we arrive.
- Lock your vehicle. Never leave a running vehicle unattended. Store important valuables out of sight. Pay attention to anyone near your car when you walk away.
- Lock all doors and windows to homes/offices. Know who is at the door before opening. Do not allow unapproved visitors into locked buildings.
- Lock your bicycle to a designated rack with a secure “U” lock.
- If you see something, say something. We need your help keeping campus safe. Call ULPD, (502) 852-6111 to report suspicious activity, and 911 if it is an emergency.
- Sign up for Rave Safety Alerts. http://www.santafedesignstudio.com/cardsafety
