UFPD issued some basic safety considerations to those on campus:
- Report suspicious activities or individuals immediately using 911.
- Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. This is particularly true if you are wearing headphones and may not be able to hear someone near or behind you.
- If someone bothers you, don’t be embarrassed to attract attention to yourself. Yell!
- Avoid walking alone. On campus, use the Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol (SNAP), a safe campus escort service by calling 352.392.7627 (SNAP).
- Stay in well-lit areas, away from alleys, bushes and entryways.
- If someone stops and asks for directions, avoid getting close to the individual.
