The Alamo Colleges Police Department Officers should be alerted to the presence of any suspicious persons or activity on campus. 记住，巡警不可能同时出现在所有地方. 校园里应该举报的可疑活动有:

These questions must be answered if the officer is to be effective in handling the situation. When reporting an incident, please do not hang up on the dispatcher until the dispatcher states that there is sufficient information to relay to the officers in the field. The reason for the call back phone number is to contact you for further infromation when the officer files his/ her report.

A vehicle in a parking lot is an inviting target for theft, vandalism or burglary. 为了尽量减少这些犯罪的风险:

• Remove ignition key 
• Lock all doors 
• Secure all windows 
• 避免将贵重物品留在车内, if you must, 离开家之前把它们锁在后备箱里 
• Use anti-theft locks 
• Consider installing an alarm system

• 报告停车场的可疑活动 

When parking your vehicle:

• Consider whether it will be dark when you return and select a place that will be well lit and not deserted

• 返回车辆时准备好钥匙了吗
• 上车前检查一下后座

• Should you return to the location where your vehicle had been parked and discover it missing, 立即通知校园警察提交报告.

Crimes often occur in clusters. 如果你举报了一起犯罪或涉嫌犯罪，你可能会阻止下一次犯罪.

Contact the Police Department immediately whenever you see or hear something suspicious or unusual. 警察局将对所有可疑活动的报告作出回应. 你的电话可以防止针对朋友、邻居或你自己的犯罪.

打击不受欢迎的电话(淫秽), harassing, threatening, 等)，警务处提供以下建议:

• Think first, then take action; remain as calm as possible
• Move away from the potential threat
• 不要害怕让攻击者知道你意识到了潜在的威胁
• Join a group of people nearby
• 到光线充足的公共场所，立即报警
• 如果你看到别人有麻烦，请报警
• After you have avoided a threat or crime, report the incident to the Campus Police office
• If you believe a threat is eminent and you can see people nearby; yell, scream, 制造一种骚动来吸引人们的注意，然后跑向人群

• 走人多的路线

• 走在马路的一边，面对迎面而来的车辆

• Avoid sudden movement
• 完全按照攻击者的要求去做
• 在不明显的情况下获得攻击者的完整描述, 包括武器和人/车逃跑的方向
• 如果你认为无论你做什么攻击者都会杀了你, 使用任何你能想到的防御方法:尖叫, kicking, running; your objective is to get away. 在这种情况下，你没有什么可失去的. It is a matter of survival.

强奸和性侵犯可能随时发生在任何人身上，无论年龄大小, Sex, Physical Appearance, and Type of Dress. A defense strategy that saves a victim in one strategy might encourage the assailant in another. You personally will have to decide what kind of defense you are capable of using if you are attacked. We recommend you attend some of the rape seminars held on campus through the year or one of the seminars held in our community.

If you are a victim of rape The identity of any victim of a sex crime is kept in the strictest of confidence. 是否提出申诉将由你自己选择. 警方将尽一切可能提供协助. It is important to notify the Police Department regardless of whether or not you wish to file a complaint because the police can
