Theft at Work

  1. Don’t leave purses or wallets in plain sight or in unsecured drawers – lock them up, even if planning to be away for only a few minutes.
  2. Use the locking function of your computer to lock the device when away from it.  Don’t leave passwords out in plain sight or readily found.
  3. Don’t allow unknown persons to “piggyback” when entering a building – if your workplace has a secure entry system, allow each person to utilize their own access card/key.
  4. If you see an unknown person wandering through your office or place of employment and they have no reason to be there, call the Police Department Dispatch number at 374-2300.
  5. Ensure all workplace visitors are escorted by employees.
