Crime Prevention
Be prepared!
Keep pencil and paper close to the phone. Keep your area tidy and organized and report any suspicious objects or missing items immediately. Report suspicious individuals to Security and be ready to give a detailed description.
If you are alone in your area, keep doors locked, inform Security of your location and your intended leaving time. Lock your car and do not leave your valuables on display. Late at night or at weekends, have someone accompany you to your car and check the backseat before entering.
If requested, Security will escort anyone to their vehicle in the Parkade at the New Westminster or David Lam campus. The non emergency Security number is 5405(NWC) and 6254(DLC).
Violence Prevention
Any person observing, or the victim of violence requiring immediate intervention, must promptly inform Campus Security (or the responsible administrator at locations where there are no College security staff).
Security or the responsible administrator will take immediate action.
