Suspicious Activity
What is suspicious activity? Trust your instincts. They will probably tell you that something just does not look or feel
right.
- Do not ignore suspicious behavior. Inform University Police of your concerns by calling their non-emergency number 419-372-2346.
- Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. Know who lives or works in your hallway and/or building.
- Take precautions when traveling, even on campus or while walking to your car.
- If you have to go somewhere along and after dark, call the Campus Escort Service at 419-372-8360.
- Be aware of the location of all emergency exits and emergency phones if outside on campus.
