Personal Safety Meetings

Dear University Community:

I am writing in regards to the rape and sexual assaults that occurred in the City of College Park yesterday reported last night through the emailed Crime Alert message sent by University Police (see below). When any member of our community is a victim of such crimes, we need to be sensitive first and foremost to his or her needs and also to be cognizant of the safety of all members of our community.

In response to these incidents, two meetings on personal safety will be held.
  • The first is today, Friday, September 14, 2007, at 3:00 p.m. in the Colony Ballroom of the Stamp Student Union, and

  • the second will be on Monday, September 17 at 12:00 noon, also in the Colony Ballroom.
    • These meetings will provide members of our campus community up-to-date information on these crimes, including steps you can take to increase your personal safety. Representatives of the Prince George's Police Department, University Police, and the Victim Advocate Office will be at the meetings. Your safety and security on the campus and in the community are critically important to us, so we urge you to attend, and then share the information with your colleagues and friends.

    The Crime Alert message may be found at the Crime Alert portion of the UMPD web site: www.umdps.umd.edu/police_support_services_public_incident2.cfm?id=569.

    Linda Clement
    Vice President for Student Affairs
