Public Safety offers tips, and parking permit pickup times


It may seem like common sense, but the speed of life picks up as classes resume and it's easy to overlook basic safety precautions.     Brandeis's Public Safety Department is reminding students of some fundamentals:

  • Don’t prop open outside doors to residence halls.
  • Never let strangers into your residence hall
  • Alert University police of suspicious people at extension 65000
  • Know where emergency phones are located and walk on lighted paths.
  • Make sure all window and door locks are operating properly
  • Always lock your room door, especially while sleeping or going out
  • Use the Escort Safety Service which begins Thursday August 26th


Don’t get towed:
 
To ensure emergency access to all residence halls, please respect fire lanes.  These lanes, surrounding Ziv, Ridgewood and The Village Residence Hall are to be used by emergency vehicles only.  Cars left in these lanes will be towed immediately by Brandeis Police.  Also, the Electronic Gate Access for Ziv and Ridgewood is restricted to Emergency Vehicle use for Community-related concerns.

If you have a question, please contact  x64240 or ecallaha@brandeis.edu
