Jogging Security

Many community members jog on and around campus.  The following safety precautions should become part of your routine:

• Run with a least one other person.

• Run during daylight hours.

• Always wear bright or reflective clothing.

• Run in familiar areas.

• Be sure to let someone know the route you will be traveling.

• If a vehicle approaches and you feel threatened, turn and run in the opposite direction of the car's travel.

• If you encounter any problem, look for a populated place and run to that location.  Be particularly aware of public buildings--fire houses, police station, Public Safety, store, or school.  If you need help, head toward one of those locations.
