The Crime Prevention Unit maintains a found property repository. Found property should be turned into the Department of Public Safety. You may call 333-7816 and have an officer meet with you to pick up the found property or you may take the property directly to the Department of Public Safety located south of the Old Gym. If you have lost or mislaid property, telephone 333-7816 or click on the Lost and Found icon on the Crime Prevention page to determine if it has been turned in. Properties most often found are keys, eyeglasses, textbooks, notebooks, backpacks, purses, and wallets.
Every effort is made to contact the owner of the property.
Found property with some form of identification is returned to the rightful owner without delay. The officer will provide information on what steps you can take to reduce these hazards. A survey generally takes from 10 to 20 minutes for an office and up to one hour for a large building with different types of doors and windows. The Department of Justice estimates that more than one million children are reported missing each year. The Crime Prevention Unit is responsible for fingerprinting and photographing the children of any faculty, staff or student that would like to participate in the program.
