UPD stresses holiday safety
Students should take precautions during break, officer says
By CPL. BETTY LeMAY
Special to THE BATTALION
We are fast approaching the Thanksgiving
holidays, and many students, faculty and staff will
be leaving home and traveling the highways. Before
leaving on your trip there are safety precautions that
should be taken.
Try to make your residence look as if someone is
home by using timers on lights and radios. All of
your valuables should be engraved and the serial
numbers recorded.
Use Operation Identification stickers on windows
and doors, and make sure they are locked and the
drapes are closed. If you live in an apartment or
home, have a neighbor you trust pick up your mail
and newspapers. Also, leave a phone number where
you can be reached in case of an emergency. If you
live in an apartment or residence hall, it is a good
idea to take all valuable items home with you during
long absences.
Avoid breakdowns on the road by having the
tires, battery, hoses, radiator and belts of your vehicle
checked before you leave. While traveling, wear seat
belts and drive defensively. Allow plenty of time to
reach your destination. Remember, speed kills.
Never drive when you are extremely tired, sick or
taking medication.
Let someone know when you leave and expect to
arrive as well as what route will be taken.
If your car should break down on the road, raise
the hood, use flares, tie a white cloth to the door
handle or put a sign in the window requesting help.
Keep the doors and windows locked. If someone
stops, ask them to send help instead of accepting a
ride with a stranger.
Be prepared and enjoy a safe and happy holiday,
season. For more information about crime prevention
contact the University Police at 845-8713 or 845-8900.
