We have instituted many programs at UNM to ensure your safety while on campus, but safety really begins with you. The following are some tips to help protect you from crime:

• Avoid walking alone at night. Make arrangements to walk in groups and in well-lit areas.
• The UNM Police department offers escort services to anyone needing an escort from an on-campus location to another on-campus location 24 hours, 7 days a week. We do not give off campus escorts. Call 277-2241 for more information. 
• Walk purposefully, look confident and trust your instincts. Be aware of your surroundings and don't be distracted by cell phones, iPods or other electronics.
• If you need help, use one of the blue light emergency assistance phones located throughout campus.
• Never leave your property unattended in public places.
• Lock all doors and close all windows when leaving your dorm or car, even if you're only going to be gone for a short time.
• Remove anything from your car that may look valuable to a thief.
• Have keys ready when you approach your car. Check the car for intruders
  before entering and lock your door immediately after getting into your car.
• Secure your bike or motorcycle when leaving it unattended. Use the U-shaped high security lock whenever possible.
• Never post private or compromising information to social networking sites.
• Enroll in "LoboAlerts" to receive important safety notifications in the event of a campus emergency. 
  
• If you are a victim of a crime or witness any crimes or suspicious circumstances, call UNM Police (505-277-2241) immediately.
