- “Am I witnessing a crime?”
Most of us have asked ourselves this question at some
time or another. However, because we are not
really sure, we tend to ignore what we have just seen
and, hoping it wasn’t so, we continue about our
business.
“People Aren’t Suspicious, Behavior IS!!”
Here are some signs and behaviors that may be suspicious:
- A person running while looking about furtively, as if he
or she were being observed or chased, would be suspicious.
- A stranger carrying property at an unusual hour or
location is suspicious, especially if the items are stereo
equipment.
- Any person forcible entering a locked vehicle, especially
at night and in one of our parking area, is highly suspect.
- Business transaction being conducted from a vehicle,
especially near primary schools, high schools, or parks.
You may be witnessing an illegal drug sale or a sale of stolen
property.
- One or more persons sitting in a parked car closely
scanning the area around them. Those individuals may be
lookouts for burglary or robbery in progress, or for a crime
being planned.
- A juvenile or female be forced into a vehicle may be a
kidnapping.
- A person exhibiting unusual mental or physical symptoms
may have been injured in an accident, be under the influence of
drugs or medication, or may otherwise need medical or
psychiatric assistance.
- A person going to door to door in an office building or
residential area may be looking for an opportunity to steal.
One of the leading crimes on campuses is thief of unattended
property from unsecured offices.
- Unusual noises, including gunshots, screaming, sounds of
fighting, abnormal barking dogs, or anything suggesting foul
play, danger, or illegal activity.
- If you witness one of these mentioned or some other
suspicious activity, call 911 or campus security at (760)
341-2883 Ext. 78131. If you are off campus, call
your local Police Department.
