Become familiar with the Emergency Call Boxes (ECBs) located around campus. ECBs can be identified by a blue light mounted above the box.
Program the number for UHM DPS into your phone: (808) 956-6911. If you see something out of the ordinary, call us!
Avoid situations that put you at greater risk (such as walking alone after dark or in high crime areas around the city).
If you are being harassed, loudly say “Leave me alone!” If that doesn't stop the harassment, continue to attract people's attention and head towards a store or other populated area.
Be aware of your surroundings while walking/jogging alone. If using headphones, always leave one earbud out so that you can stay alert.
When you go to social gatherings, go with a group of friends. Arrive together, check in with each other throughout the evening, and leave together.
Do not accept drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) from strangers.
If you see anything unusual or suspicious, notify UHM Department of Public Safety. Do not physically engage suspects involved in criminal activity. Stay at a safe distance, note the suspect's description, and seek help as soon as possible.
