The University Police Department is urging students to take more precautions. In this Bobcat Update, Tiana Lee tells us about how campus safety is being promoted.

One program that the university offers to promote campus safety is called Bobcat Bobbies. Students can use the service from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. to be transported on campus and avoid nighttime walking. Another safety resource is the 9-1-1 call boxes located on campus. By pushing a button on one of the boxes, students notify police of an emergency. A blue light will flash at the location to help locate the student. Safety should be everyone's concern on campus.

Residence Halls promote safety by carefully monitoring who enters or leaves the buildings. Freshman Kylie Ballis says such precautions make her feel safer on campus.
