  • Remain alert and be aware of your location and surroundings- walk with your head up, avoid carrying many items, show confidence while walking.
  • If possible, have your phone ready.
  • Utilize Cat Tran or Night Cat

  • Call UAPD at 621-UAPD (8273) for an escort from a police officer or a police aide.
  • If confronted, try to stay calm, follow the robber’s directions but do not volunteer more than what they ask for and explain your movements
  • Be the best witness you can be.  Make mental notes of race, age, sex, height, weight, hair and eye color, build, and clothing. Note anything unusual about the robber, such as scars, tattoos, strange mannerisms or speech patterns.
  • Give the robber time to leave, and when you feel safe, CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY.
