You can help keep our campuses safe.

  • Stay alert and attuned to people and circumstances around you.
  • Avoid the use of alcohol and other drugs. Persons under the influence are much more likely to be the victims of a serious crime.
  • Immediately notify the Rutgers University Police Department of any person or activity that arouses your suspicion.
  • Know your route before you go somewhere by checking the online campus map.
  • Avoid isolation. After dark, walk with others. Use well-lighted paths. Study with friends.
  • Use university transportation and walking chaperone services. Do not hitchhike or pick up hitchhikers.
  • Do not prop open any building doors.
  • Keep the door to your dorm locked. Make sure first-floor windows, fire escape windows, and security screens are locked.
  • Do not allow strangers into residence buildings.
  • Do not leave property unattended or unprotected.
