Campus Crime Alerts

 Recently, there have been reports of several BURGLARIES OF VEHICLES and ATTEMPTED BURGLARY OF VEHICLES at the UTSA campuses.  Please be aware of suspicious activity and follow these suggestions to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of this type of crime:  

·        LOCK YOUR CAR - approximately 50% of all vehicles stolen were left unlocked.

·        PARK IN WELL-LIGHTED AREAS - Over half of all thefts occur at night.

·        DON'T LEAVE VALUABLES IN PLAIN VIEW - Don't make your car a more desirable target and attract thieves by leaving valuables in plain sight. Most of the recent burglaries have involved this. 

·        COMPLETELY CLOSE CAR WINDOWS WHEN PARKING - Don't make it easier for a thief to enter your car.

·        ENGRAVE AND RECORD INFORMATION ON EXPENSIVE ACCESSORIES - Engrave personal ID numbers on car stereos, cell phones, etc., so a thief will have difficulty disposing of them.

·        INVEST IN VEHICLE PROTECTION - Ignition kill switches, fuel kill switches, visible steering wheel locks, floorboard locks, gearshift locks, hood locks, alarms, vehicle tracking, etc.

  DON'T WAIT TO BECOME A VICTIM OF CRIME BEFORE YOU GET INVOLVED.

 You can make yourself and your property a tougher target against crime.  If you have any questions, please call the Crime Prevention Division of the University Police Department at 877.0046.
