So, here I am at my hotel at the University of Michigan and while watching TV I found this information for all UM students.  I know, you are probably not a student here, but I thought that you just might find this information helpful.  And if you don't, well, I guess that you are about to waste your time.
 
Security Top 10
 
1- Housing security Officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  In non-emergency situations, they can be reached at 3-1113.  In emergency situations, please dial 911.
 
2- Keep you  room locked.  Always lock your door when sleeping, when leaving a roommate asleep inside, and anytime for however short a period- when leaving your room.  Keep bathroom/shower doors locked when in use. (Now, even if you are not a UM student, this one is specifically helpful.  You never know when someone is going to come in to take a shit while you are showering.  That is never a good thing.)
 
3- Never let someone into your building that you do not know.  When you swipe your MCard to enter a residence hall , only you and your invited guests should be permitted into the hall.  Do not allow unauthorized people access.
 
4- Please ask your guests coming to visit you to use the outside phone to contact you to let them enter the building.  We know this expectation can be inconvenient, but it is important to help make sure only people who are supposed to be in your hall get in. (This also applies to stray animals.)
 
5- Never prop open exterior doors that are locked. (because then they are not locked anymore)
 
6- Don't disable any safety feature in the hall (automatic door closure, fire doors, etc.) and report to FIXIT any damaged or visibly malfunctioning equipment , including all doors locks and windows. (Um, maybe your landlord doesn't want to be bothered.  So forget about this one.)
 
7- Contact housing security immediately to report a suspicious person or activity in the building or on your floor.
 
8- Always know where your keys and ID are.  If stolen or lost, especially together, they can lead a criminal right to your room.  If you keys or student ID are ever lost or stolen, contact Public Safety.  Any MCard reported missing is deactivated. (So, if you find them, make sure to break in quickly, because you might just miss your chance.)
 
9- If you are the victim of a crime in your hall or anywhere on campus, or observe a crime being committed, or think one is being committed, contact Security immediately. (Closing your eyes does not work anymore.)
 
10- No door-to-door solicitation is ever permitted in any residence hall (except by candidates for elected offices).  Never invite or allow a solicitor into your room.  If anyone comes to your door to solicit contact Security immediately. (Even mormans and people selling Amway.)
