If you are the victim of a burglary or you discover someone inside your residence:

If possible, immediately leave your residence and go to a safe area (e.g., a neighbor’s apartment or a public place).
Call or text the UC San Diego Police Department at 9-1-1.
If you are unable to leave your residence, secure yourself and family members in a safe location, turn on all available lights, and call the police immediately.

To help reduce the risk of being the victim of a burglary:

Make sure doors and windows are closed and locked. When it is hot out, use a lock or item that only allows the window to open small distances.
If you live on campus and your windows or doors won’t lock, please call Housing Maintenance at (858) 534-2600.
If your office windows or doors won’t lock, please call Facilities Management. Visit https://hdhfacilities.ucsd.edu/
Be aware of your surroundings. If you see suspicious activity, call or text the UC San Diego Police Department immediately at 9-1-1.
Know the location of campus emergency telephones on routes to and from campus destinations.
Avoid displaying and/or placing high-value items close to windows. Items such as computers, cell phones, wallets, and purses can be easily grabbed from open windows and may be incentives for criminals to try and enter the residence. Secure your valuables at all times.
Be alert and aware. Pay attention to who is around when you leave and return to your residence or office. If returning at night, leave a light on inside as a visual deterrent.
