Holiday Alert!
|
The university's security office offers the following
suggestions to help make this a safe holiday season for the
Hopkins community:
- Avoid shopping alone; try to shop with a friend or relative.
- Avoid walking in dark, isolated or unfamiliar areas. Don't
use street ATMs during this holiday period.
- Pay with check or credit cards when you can, and never
display cash openly. Carry only one or two credit cards.
- Be cautious of people asking for money or claiming to need
assistance. Do not give them money; call 911 and notify the
police.
- Be aware of your surroundings. Look around occasionally;
look toward people who may approach you.
- Let someone know where you are going, the route you will be
taking and the approximate time you will return.
- Walk on the side of the street facing traffic, near the
curb, to avoid passing close to shrubbery, doorways and other
places where an assailant may be hiding.
