A Crime of Opportunity It's the lunch hour and all have left the office, except for you. There you are diligently working at your computer, vigorously typing away on a report that's due in an hour. Then it hits you. It's at that moment your morning cup of coffee has completely worn off and you can no longer keep your eyes in focus. No biggie, the coke machine is just right down the hall. So off you go to get your caffeine fix taking only the change in hand needed for your coke. BAM! That's when it happens. You have now become a victim in a crime of opportunity. A thief has taken the 30 to 60 seconds he needs to run into your empty office and take your cell phone, your wallet, and your keys. How could this have happened? You only left your office for a minute.
Thieves are always on the lookout for an easy target and will typically place themselves in a position of observation by wandering halls with the intent to find unattended property. Once the thief has spotted an opportunity, he will usually search for valuables in the most obvious places such as under the desk, or in drawers, or simply right on top of the desk. If you do not want to become a victim of theft, there are precautions you can take to insure your valuables do not end up in the hands of thieves. For More Crime Prevention Tips...

Let's Twist! We are all guilty of it. At some point, we have all thought that it won't happen to me, or this town, or even this university. The reality is that it could happen at any time or any place because Mother Nature does not discriminate. So what is it that we are talking about? Tornadoes of course. They are incredibly unpredictable, terribly dangerous, and one should always be prepared for them. That is why, this past March, the Office of Environmental Health, Safety and Risk Management in conjunction with the University Police Department conducted a campus-wide tornado drill. It is through these types of preparedness drills, as well as through education, that we can insure all individuals on our campus will remain safe in the event of a real tornado.
