The majority of these incidents involve access to vehicles left unlocked.\n\nThe most important step you can take to protect your vehicle is to lock your doors anytime you are not present - even if you are only away from it for a few minutes - thereby securing the vehicle and activating its alarm.\n\nTo protect yourself and your property:\n\nEnsure car windows and doors are locked/secured. Do not leave your keys in your vehicle.\n\nDo not leave valuable items in your vehicle.\n\nIf you need to keep valuables in the car, make sure they can't be easily seen, e.g., place them in the trunk. Keep them out of sight and locked up!\n\nPark in well-lit, high pedestrian traffic and visible areas when possible.\n\nBe aware of your surroundings when approaching your vehicle.\n\nIf you have something stolen or your vehicle is broken into, please don't hesitate to reach out to DPS. Our non-emergency phone number is 315.443.2224.\n\nIf you or someone you know has been affected by an incident on or near campus, please know that there are resources available to you. In addition, for your safety, please review these suggested safety strategies.\n\nThis public safety information is issued for your safety in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act.",
