Crime Prevention and Resources

You can now use our Anonymous Tips form to confidentially and anonymously report a crime or suspicious activity.

If you witness or become the victim of a crime, call "0 " or 6777 from a campus phone, or 740-587-6777 from any other phone to report the incident to University Security.
Do not block their avenue of escape. If you observe a perpetrator commit a crime, do not attempt to stop them. Instead, get a good description of the perpetrator, note their direction of travel, and obtain vehicle information if pertinent.
Do not follow the perpetrator. Let the perpetrator leave the scene. If followed, the perpetrator may panic and cause you harm.

Do not let people into a locked building or office unless you work with them or they have been properly identified. If the person gives you any problems, call Campus Security.
In the event that a suspicious person is seen roaming around, or suspicious calls are received, contact Campus Security immediately.
Always keep the door to your room locked when you are working alone.
Do not investigate a suspicious person or noise outside by yourself.
Keep a list of emergency numbers with you.
Never walk alone at night. Walk in an alert and confident manner, and actively pay attention to your surroundings.
Choose the best lit, most traveled paths when walking.
Take a self-defense course.
