Safety
General Suggestions
- Be aware of your surroundings. Many crimes occur literally “under the nose” of people who just did not notice anything suspicious.
- Safety and security are everyone’s responsibility. You can reduce the possibility of becoming a crime statistic by being alert to your environment.
- Your safety and security ultimately depend on you as an individual for effectiveness and success. You must take responsibility for your own safety.
- Report non-working city street lights by calling 315-448-CITY. You will need the pole number, located approximately 7ft from the bottom of the pole.
- Report all crime and any suspicious activity to the Syracuse Police Department (911) or the Department of Public Safety (443-2224).
- If you return home and find an open/broken window or door, do not enter! Go elsewhere to call the police. Do not clean a burglary scene before the police arrive.
