Safety tips from UPD
- Lock your doors, when you are home and when you go out.
- Remember to close and lock your windows before you leave.
- Keep your grass cut, since an unmown lawn can send a signal to a burglar that you are not around much.
- If you have a garage door, make sure to keep it closed whenever you are home, day or night.
- Memorize the phone number of the University Police Department (765-285-1111) or add it to your cell phone contacts.
- Report any suspicious activity to the police.
Chief of University Police James Duckham sent a mass email Thursday morning to the Ball State community. The message served as a public safety notice to make those living near campus aware of reported burglaries.
