For many, it will be their fi rst time away from home and also their fi rst experience with total independence. It's an exciting time and a dangerous one. Concerned with this safety issue, Sheriff Alan Nor- man of Cleveland County urges college students to exercise caution when living on campus. Across the United States college cam- puses are increasing security measures by installing emergency call box systems designed to immediately contact a 911 operator. They are usually located in fre- quently traveled areas such as parking lots and main routes used to and from class. Another popular security measure involves campus escorts. This program recruits qualifi ed volunteers to walk stu- dents to and from class after dark. Se- curity cameras and bright lighting are also being used to heighten campus safety. "College campuses are extremely vul- nerable to crime because of their open- ness," said Sheriff Norman. "It's diffi cult to keep buildings and dorm rooms locked be- cause people are constantly coming and going. Another contributing factor is that students tend to develop a false sense of security because of the seemingly peace- ful surroundings." Campus crimes can take many forms – theft, date rape, and drugs to name just a few. It's impossible to avoid all dangers. However, Sheriff Norman has some sug- gestions on how college students can better protect and educate themselves through campus safety education. • Never post informa- tion as to your where- abouts on your dorm room door, or on social media. If an intruder knows that you are away – it's an open invitation for them to break in. • Even if leaving your room for only a few minutes – lock your door. • When studying in out-of-the way plac- es, inform campus security as to your whereabouts. • When meeting a study partner for the fi rst time, make arrangements to meet in a public place. • Encourage campus security to estab- lish a photo identifi cation program to deter outsiders from entering school buildings. • Work with your local law enforcement to organize a safety education program to teach incoming students the do's and don'ts of campus safety. • Familiarize yourself with emergency call box locations and save the telephone number for campus safety in your cell- phone for easy access. • Be aware of your surroundings. Don't let cellphones become a distraction by walking while texting or looking down at your cellphone. • Learn to trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it. Don't allow anyone to violate your comfort zone. Submitted by Lisa Poteat School campus safety: Do you know how to avoid a dangerous situation?
