It’s often been said that crime has no address and that’s absolutely true. E-mail alerts, text messages and social media feeds can help you keep informed about neighborhood safety. Emergency phones, escorts and other safety precautions are there for you to use. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you don’t feel comfortable walking at night or see something suspicious.

The University of Akron has many services available to students:

“Use the campus escort service. Patrol members will escort students between campus locations from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly on school nights. Call 330-972-7263 to request the service.
If you feel threatened or if you want to report something suspicious, use one of the 230 emergency phones on campus. The phones, distinguished by their blue lights, connect directly to the UA police dispatcher at all hours.
Program the University’s emergency line into your cell phone: 330-972-2911. Or call 9-1-1.
Notify the UAPD if you notice anything suspicious or unusual. Call the department at 330-972-2911 (or 9-1-1 in an emergency) at any hour. “It’s amazing how often small tips from everyday people add up to something we can use,” said University Police Chief Paul Callahan. “Students should not be shy about calling. We value every call.”
Going downtown on a weekend night? Use UA’s free shuttle service.”

University Language offers the following tips:

“◦First and foremost, always be alert. Keep your head up, know your surroundings and don’t be caught by surprise.
◦Stay in areas with a lot of people. A crime is less likely to occur if there are many witnesses. If an area is deserted, you probably shouldn’t be there either.
◦Try to let at least one person know where you are going and when you are expected to return.
◦Carry a whistle or other type of alarm so you can quickly – and loudly – grab someone’s attention in case of an emergency.
◦At home, keep your doors and windows locked and don’t let someone in until you know who it is.”
