| Alert for university students |  |  |  |
| June 23-2010 The Waterloo Regional Police Service is investigating numerous reports of break and enters from residents in the area surrounding the universities. The WRPS suggests the following: 1. Keep all doors locked, even when you are at home, day and night. 2. If you share a home with roommates who have different schedules, discuss a plan to carry keys and make an effort to lock the door each time you leave the residence. 3. If you are going to be away, let your roommates know so they are aware of who should and who shouldn’t be inside. 4. Introduce yourself to your neighbours. Knowing each other makes it easier to determine what behavior is suspicious so we (WRPS) can be alerted quickly to increase our chances of apprehending suspects. 5. If you see suspicious activity or someone enters your residence under questionable circumstances please call 911 immediately and stay on the line with the operator to provide as much detail as you can. This will assist the responding officers with locating suspects.
