Office Security Tips:
- Do not leave your wallet/purse in an unlocked desk or cabinet, or out in the open.
- Lock your desk when you leave the office.
- Lock unoccupied rooms and offices even if you leave for only a minute.
It takes a thief only seconds to enter an open room and steal your property. Report suspicious persons or activity to the University Police, x3-6222 or 410-543-6222.
