度假安全贴士

假期安全及减低风险贴士

The holiday season is an opportunity for criminals to engage in crime.  假日旅行, 购物, 和准备工作, more people are out and about and typically carry more money and valuables than during other times.  It’s important to be mindful of safety during these busy times and to take all precautions necessary to reduce the risks of becoming a victim.

可以采取预防措施来增加人身安全, 比如尽可能和别人一起散步, 注意你周围的环境, 在光线充足和人口稠密的地区旅行, 走路时不要发短信或打电话, 在街上把现金和贵重物品藏起来, refraining from using earbuds or headphones in both ears and trusting your instincts.  虽然总是很重要,强烈推荐, these precautions become even more critical when there are fewer people on campus, 比如在假期休息的时候.  校园安全 will continue to provide services such as a transport to assist individuals in making safe plans.  那些要去寒假的人应该锁好自己的房间, 办公室, and windows and either take computers and electronics with them or secure these devices in their rooms before leaving.

校园安全 has compiled holiday safety tips to assist students, 教师, and staff in safeguarding their property and keep themselves safe, whether traveling or remaining in the area throughout the break period.  请考虑以下降低风险的措施.
