UAlbany Community:
Theft is the #1 reported crime across the U.S. Though this is true, we are pleased to say that the number of larceny incidents on campus has decreased! This is a positive trend we would like to see continue so here are a few tips on how to keep not only yourself, but your property and identity safe while on campus:
Be certain to lock up your belongings or take them with you. Remember to lock your door when you leave your room.
It is illegal to use stolen check and credit card information to add monetary funds to your personal and UAS accounts.
These activities are crimes and can be solved! When we catch those involved, they WILL BE prosecuted and referred for administrative sanctions.
The University’s camera system may assist us in the recovery of your items, but the best way to avoid having your belongings taken is to keep them with you or lock them up.
If you are the victim of a crime or need assistance, contact UPD directly at: 518-442-3131. You may also report to UPD anonymously through our Website .
