Safety In The City
- Be aware of your surroundings.
- Express yourself with confidence and control.
- Trust your instincts. Your gut reactions are often a good gauge of the
relative safety of an area. Let your roommates and friends know where you are and a rough estimate of when you’ll return. This way, if something does happen to you, there are people who can try to reach you or seek the proper assistance.

- Don’t go alone. There is safety in numbers, and you’ll feel and be safer by
walking, running and exploring with a friend rather than by yourself.
- Take well-lit paths when walking at night. The better lit the area, the better
chance that you’ll be able to assess your surroundings.
- Have your keys/MUID ready before entering your residence hall or
apartment.
- Take advantage of the services that the Marquette Department of Public
Safety has to offer. These include:

- Safety Patrol Service (“Yellow Jackets”) from 5:30 p.m. until 2 a.m.
- After Hours (later than 3 a.m.) Public Safety Squad Service
- Blue Light Phones on and around the Marquette campus to provide
24 hour direct access to the Department of Public Safety
