Safety tips:

• In an event of an emergency, students should call the Georgia Tech Police Department (GTPD) at 404.894.2500. Students should program this number into their cell phones.
• If in need of late-night campus transportation, use the Stingerette after-hours shuttle service. Students should also program 404.385.7433 into their cell phones.
• Students should remove all valuables from their vehicle to help prevent break-ins.  Leaving any items in plain view — GPS devices, laptops, purses, spare change, books, and gym bags —increases the risk for a vehicle break-in.
• If a suspicious or armed person demands property, students should comply with the request then immediately seek police assistance.
• If students see something suspicious, they should contact the GTPD immediately.
• Keep doors and windows locked, especially when your student is not in their room.
• Register all laptops and bicycles with GTPD to help the recovery process in the event of theft. This is a FREE service. For more information visit www.police.gatech.edu/registration.htm.
