These timely warnings provide information about campus safety and allow campus community members to take precautions. The reported information may not have been investigated or confirmed at the time of the issuance of the warning.
Physical descriptions of suspects, including race, are included in timely warnings only when they provide several details that might help distinguish the suspect’s appearance from the general population.
