Tips on ensuring everyone’s safety and security
Personal Property
Do not leave valuable property where it is accessible or in view: Lock your office, lock your car, etc…
Safety of Others
If you enter or leave through a locked door, please ensure that door is locked again behind you. This ensures the safety of anyone else who may still be in the building during off hours. It’s important to ensure you’re keeping others out of danger.
Your Own Safety
It’s important to always ensure you’re not putting yourself in a position where you feel uncomfortable. Always walk on main walkways that are well-lit, don’t use shortcuts and if you would like someone to walk with you, call the Western Foot Patrol at 519-661-3650.
For faculty and staff using your office outside of normal working hours or on the weekend, please let Security know you are on campus, along with the amount of time you’ll be on there.
Campus Safety: Foot Patrol
You never have to walk alone! Western Foot Patrol provides safe escorts back to your car, will wait with you at a bus stop or drive you home if you live near campus.
