As we get back into the swing of things this semester, the La Crosse Police Department and University Police have advised those living in the UW-L/WTC campus area to consider several safety precautions in response to a recent string of burglaries.

General Safety guidelines should be:
1. Make your home look occupied and make it difficult to break in.
2. Lock all outside doors and windows before you leave the house or go to bed. Even if it’s for a short time, lock your doors.
3. Leave lights, radio or TV on when you go out. Use a timer if you will be gone for a length of time.
4. Check your locks on doors and windows and replace them with secure devices as necessary.
5. Pushbutton locks on doorknobs are easy for burglars to open. Install deadbolt locks on all your outside doors.
6. Have adequate outside lighting with motion sensitive lights.
7. Be a good neighbor. If you notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood, call the police.
