Dear Campus Community,
I’d like to take a moment to remind you about personal safety at the start of the new semester. Police have received three reports involving physical confrontations. Two of the incidents happened off campus, both involving alcohol and one involving a weapon. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in any of the cases.
The on-campus incident occurred as a group of suspects walking through campus demanded money and a skateboard from the victim. Police are investigating the late-night incidents, have identified suspects and have made arrests.
UNC Police patrol campus 24 hours a day and also work closely with the Greeley Police Department in neighborhoods around campus. Please report anything suspicious on campus to UNC Police at 351-2245. Suspicious off-campus activity should be reported to Greeley Police at 350-9600. Please program both numbers in your cell phone.
Here are some additional tips for staying safe:
Alcohol is also a significant factor in many crimes. Students who are drinking are more likely to be involved in criminal activity. We strongly encourage you to make safe and healthy choices when it comes to alcohol consumption.
To request a UNC Police presentation about crime prevention, call 351-2245. In keeping with federal law, we also publish annual crime statistics. These statistics are available on the UNCPD's Crime Statistics page.
Sincerely,
Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt
Chief, UNC Police Department
The campus community is reminded to be vigilant following arrests police made in connection with a money-making scheme. No weapons were used and no injuries were reported. In the case, suspects approached members of campus and asked for assistance. They then promised money in return for help in attempting to fraudulently cash checks. While this appears to be an isolated incident, police advise being cautious when approached by strangers. Never agree to provide strangers with rides in your vehicle, personal information or money in exchange for what appears to be something of equal value. If you witness suspicious activity on campus, immediately call UNC Police at 351-2245. Suspicious off-campus activity should be reported to Greeley Police at 350-9600.
UNC Police are investigating a case of unauthorized access that occurred Tuesday night, Aug. 5, in Michener Library. They have arrested three suspects in connection with the incident and the theft of laptops and building keys. The investigation is ongoing, but at this point there’s no indication that sensitive information has been compromised or that the keys have been used elsewhere. Police are heightening patrols on West Campus and encourage you to be mindful of safety precautions, alert and aware of your surroundings. Please report suspicious activity to UNC Police at 351-2245.
