| CAMPUS POLICE - Police Informer- "Reducing Crime and Promoting Safety" |
SAFETY TIP OF THE MONTH: Don’t let your guard down. Crime can occur at anytime, day or night. Criminals target those who appear to be vulnerable, isolated or preoccupied. Initiating conversation, such as asking for directions or money, is often a tactic used by criminals to create opportunity for an assault or robbery.
PROTECTING YOUR OFFICE AREA
Many people who would not dream of leaving their cars unlocked, may leave their office area unattended. If you think your belongings are safe, think again. There is a different breed of criminals known as “office creepers”. They dress like coworkers or service personnel and use the chaos of a busy office to go unnoticed. Ways to avoid being a victim of an office creeper:
*Be familiar with as many of your fellow QCC employees as possible.
*If you see someone wandering around looking for someplace or thing, ask if you can help them.
*If you believe the person is suspicious contact QCC Police.
*Keep your personal keys and office keys separate.
*Don’t hide your wallet or purses in unlocked cabinets/drawers

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DRIVE SAFELY
We all use and share the roads, therefore we should do all we can to encourage and facilitate the safe operations of all vehicles. We cannot do it alone.
*Distracted drivers were involved in nearly 8 out of 10 collisions or near-crashes.
*Driver inattention is factor in most crashes.
Three Things we can do:
- Keep your eyes on the ROAD and both hands on the wheel.
- Don’t talk or answer your cell phone while driving.
- If you’re going to do anything but drive, Pull Over or wait until you are safely stopped.
