Safety tips:
Survivors of crime are never at fault for their victimization. It is the perpetrators of these crimes who are responsible for their actions that make our campus less safe. However, there are a few tips that may help prevent future crimes.
- Use the buddy system with people you trust. Do not walk alone after dark on campus. When moving around the area at night, try to stick to better lit and more traveled routes, or walk with friends.
- Avoid using cell phones or other technology while walking and remain aware of your surroundings.
- Download and use the Spartan Ride app to access Safe Ride services and shuttle routes. Safe Ride runs seven days a week, between 6 p.m. and 3 a.m.
- Trust your gut feelings and avoid people and situations that make you feel uncomfortable.
- See something, say something. Report any suspicious behavior to CWRU Police in the Spartan Safe app or by calling 216.368.3333.
- If you feel threatened or uncomfortable in regards to your safety, call CWRU Police at 216.368.3333. If a situation is making you nervous, don't be afraid to alter your route, duck into a store or call for help.
