The Department of Protective Services requests that you be aware of suspicious persons in your buildings/ areas. Summer is typically a time of criminal activity that includes break-ins to vending machines, laptop theft and vehicle related crimes. There have been several feminine product dispensers broken into in the restrooms for the purpose of stealing the money in them. If you see someone that you feel may be acting in a suspicious manner, please call Protective Services at 368-3333 immediately with a description if at all possible, of the person, clothing and direction of travel.
