Police would like to remind all community members to always have
safety in mind
by:

UVM
Police urge the UVM community to always be aware of your
surroundings while
walking or running and avoid being distracted by listening to
music or talking
on a cell phone, especially at night. If possible walk or run
with someone and
in well lighted and populated areas, and be aware of the emergency blue
lights all
over campus.
"Crime
Awareness" is an integral component of "crime prevention."
Knowledge that crimes occur encourages communities to actively
participate in
crime prevention efforts (e.g., locking doors, not walking
alone, reporting
suspicious activity to police) and, therefore, creates a safer
environment.
Lack of information invites complacency. The following message
was approved for
campus-wide distribution by the Department of Police Services
Chief/Director Lianne
Tuomey to alert you to an incident, to promote safety on
campus and, in part,
to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and Campus
Crime Statistics Act of 1990.
