Thanksgiving Break Safety Tips
As we prepare for Thanksgiving Break, the Baylor and Waco Police Departments remind our community of several safety tips for your personal safety and your property.
A simple phrase to remember as you leave your vehicle or residence is HIDE…LOCK…TAKE.
HIDE! Keep all valuables out of sight or place them in your trunk.
LOCK! Always lock your vehicle and residence.
TAKE! Leave nothing of value in plain view and take valuables with you.
Additional Personal Safety Tips
- Always be aware of your surroundings.
- Avoid texting while walking.
- Walk in groups whenever possible.
- Use only one earbud when listening to audio devices.
- Avoid walking in dimly lit or isolated areas.
All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to be alert and cautious of their surroundings on and away from campus. In any active emergency, or if you see suspicious activity on or adjacent to campus, immediately report the incident to BUPD at 254-710-2222 or 9-1-1, or by using the BU Campus Guardian smartphone app.
