PREVENT
Thanks to several initiatives, Moravian University's crime rate has decreased dramatically and students, staff, faculty, and residents of the university community have become more educated about problems of crime. The members of the Campus Police Department want you to remember to PREVENT:
Prevention is the most effective means of eliminating crime. Secure your valuables, keep residence hall doors locked, be aware of your environment.
Record the description of suspicious persons. Do not attempt to question or restrain them yourself.
Escape is the primary objective if you become involved in a dangerous situation. Do not attempt a physical confrontation if escape is possible.
Value your safety and the safety of others.
Employ common sense and awareness in your day to day activities. Remember many victims of crime said, "It can't happen to me.
Notify the campus police at once if you are the victim of a crime or if you witness one.
