Children’s Bicycles and Helmets Needed

November 28, 2011 - Campus Community Police, in partnership with a research project by Professor Alan Salmoni from Kinesiology, are requesting faculty and staff at Western donate children’s bicycles and helmets in support of a project to teach elementary school children in grades 6 to 8 how to ride bikes safely. A total of 30 bikes and helmets are needed. The project focuses around the fact that in Canada bike accidents are a leading cause of brain injury and mortality in this age group.   If you have a bicycle (wheel/rim sizes 16”-24”) that your children no longer use and you would like to help a good cause, please bring your bike to the Campus Police office in Lawson Hall during daytime hours between Dec. 5^th and 9^th.  After the bikes have been used for safety training they will be given to needy children who do not have a bike of their own.

Thanks for your support

 

Break and Enters

October 24, 2011 - Over the last couple of months there have been approximately 100 Break and Enters to residences near Western.   The usual pattern is for the suspect to enter residences, while persons are sleeping between 3 and 6 a.m., through an open window, unlocked door or by slitting the screen in a door and checking if the inside door is locked  and entering if it isn’t locked.   Screens in windows are also slit in some cases to gain entry.  In some cases entry is made during daylight hours.  Residents are asked to record serial numbers of lap-tops and cameras, keep doors and windows locked, and report suspicious persons or activities to London Police at 911.

 

Theft Notice

September 23, 2011 - Special attention to bicycle security is requested due to 22 thefts in just over a week.   Thieves are targeting areas around residences and in the University core.   Thefts usually occur by cutting the security chain.  Anyone seeing a person or persons loitering or acting suspiciously around bikes is asked to call Campus Police at 911 or 519-661-3300.    

 

Theft Prevention

August 19, 2011 - Although Western is a safe environment, computers and bikes require the owner’s attention to help prevent theft of these.  

Computer – whether you are in a library, study area, classroom or other location DO NOT walk away and leave your computer unattended.   Also, make sure you back-up your files so if your computer goes missing you can promptly recover your notes.   Attend InfoSource to get a driver’s license number engraved into the underside of the lap top so if located we can find you.

Bike – lock your bike preferably with two separate devices and as an added precaution take the seat with you.   Record the serial number, make, model and colour so if it goes missing you will have the information needed by Campus Police to identify, if recovered.  Even better, contact Parking at 83973  or attend at their office in the Support Services Building to arrange secure locker storage at minimal cost.
