Crime Prevention

Actions you can take

University of Denver Campus Safety believes there are several safety precautions that can be taken to reduce the opportunity of you becoming a victim of a criminal incident. Some actions you can take include:
  • Be aware. Awareness of your surroundings can add to your safety. If you think you are being followed, or notice someone who is suspicious, go to a place of calculated security and call Campus Safety.
  • Use the "Buddy System" whenever possible. Travel with a trusted friend to minimize your vulnerability. When you go to parties or walk in the community, have a friend with you to assure you both are safe.
  • If you find yourself needing to travel alone on campus after dark, call Campus Safety for a walking escort.  Escorts are available to students, staff and faculty by calling 303.871.2334. 
  • Become familiar with lighted areas when walking at night. The D.U. campus has several well lit sidewalk areas throughout campus. Use these sidewalks after dark.
  • Know where the emergency telephones are located. There are dozens of emergency telephones throughout campus. Use these phones to report any crimes or suspicious activity.
