Notification of a Robbery Update

September 28, 2006

Over the past several days there have been several reports of robberies occurring on the perimeter of the campus. These crimes have occurred during the early morning hours and the individuals targeted by the suspects have been walking alone. The Syracuse Police and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) are working closely to apprehend the suspects in these crimes. Additional patrols have been placed along the streets bordering the campus. Meanwhile, we urge all community members to take advantage of the various means of transportation offered on campus: the Centro Bus System, DPS “Shuttle U Home” and the DPS Escort Program. In addition, we strongly suggest that if you choose to be out walking during the late night hours, you do so in groups. To further reduce your vulnerability you should avoid walking in dark, isolated areas.
