Although Cincinnati State works hard to ensure the safety of all individuals within its community, students and employees themselves must take responsibility for their own personal safety and that of their personal belongings.  Simple, common sense precautions are the most effective means of maintaining personal security.

For example:

• Students walking across campus or to parking lots at night, whether male or female, should walk in pairs or utilize the Public Safety escort service.
• All valuable personal property should be engraved with the owner’s name or drivers license number. 
• All textbooks should be clearly marked with the owners name or some other form of identification.
• Bicycles should be secured with a good lock.
• Cars should be locked and parked in well lighted areas with all valuable items locked in the trunk.
• Students and employees should notify Public Safety of any individual present in a building or on campus who appears to have no legitimate business there or who arouses suspicion in any way.
