However, there are a few tips that may help prevent future crimes.\n\nDo not prop interior or exterior doors at any time, hold an outside door open for strangers, or allow strangers to tailgate on your access card. If someone has followed you into an access controlled building, don’t confront them yourself. Find a safe spot and contact CWRU PD.\nKeep doors locked at all times, even when in the room or when going down the hall.\nClose all windows when leaving the room, even for short periods of time. Keep valuables out of sight.\nTrust your gut feelings and avoid people and situations that make you feel uncomfortable.\nSee something, say something. Report any suspicious behavior to CWRU PD in the Spartan Safe app or by calling 216.368.3331.\nIf you feel threatened or uncomfortable in regards to your safety, call CWRU PD at 216.368.3333. If a situation is making you nervous, don't be afraid to alter your route, duck into a store or call for help.\n\nCase Western Reserve University is committed to providing a safe environment for all members of the community.
