Safety Tips:
Make sure that you lock your doors and windows before you leave your residence and when you are home.
If your residence has a home security system, make sure to set it.
Never enter your residence if you see that a door or window has been forced. Go to the nearest safe place and contact the local police immediately.
Do not let others into your building or onto residential floors, stairwells, elevators, etc. unless you know them as residents of your building. Anyone you can't identify as a resident of your building should be asked to use an outside telephone to call the resident they are coming to visit.
Close and latch any door you may find propped. If you are at a residence hall and noticed that a door is not securing properly, please contact 301-314-9675. For all other buildings, contact 301-405-3555.
Report suspicious persons or activity to UMPD (301-405-3333/ 911 or via the UMD Guardian app) and to your service desk/any Resident Life staff member.
If you live in a Residence Hall, keep your room door locked, when you’re asleep, down the hall, in the shower, or visiting others in your building.
Trust your instincts. They are a natural gift that tells you when something is wrong.
