Crime Prevention Tip of the Day: Yesterday I reminded everyone about the new semester beginning and to take time to review your departmental after-hour authorization lists and alarm authorization lists. These two items are important to ensure and maintain the security within a building or office complex. While reviewing these lists, check the integrity of your alarm system. When was the system last serviced? When was the alarm system last tested to ensure functionality?
