Suspicious Persons

It is difficult to determine whether a person is a "suspicious" person. There are certain things you should look for in determining whether a person should be reported to Campus Security. Suspicious people are people you do not recognize that are:

  • Entering rooms, offices, labs, with no apparent business to transact.
  • Soliciting (Includes selling materials, asking for donations, etc.)
  • Sleeping on chairs, furniture or the floor. Use discretion during exams.
  • Carrying weapons such as knives or guns.
  • Tampering with locks on doors, windows, bicycles and vehicles.
  • Forcing another person into a vehicle.
  • Looking in windows.
  • Carrying unwrapped property at unusual hours.
  • Carrying suspicious items such as crowbars, screwdrivers or bolt cutters.
  • Working on bicycles still locked up.
  • More concerned with who is around them than what they are working on or looking for.
  • Refuse help if you ask to assist them.
  • Appear scared, nervous or anxious.
