Because the G-20 may attract many visitors unfamiliar with Oakland, some of whom may choose not to obey our laws and regulations, you should use caution during your travels throughout the week. While our Pitt Police department and many other agencies will enforce the laws, and strive to ensure your safety, you can help as well. Here are some tips:
- Carry your University Identification at all times
- Keep your belongings secure, and always lock your room, car, and bicycle
- Travel with friends and never walk alone at night
- Avoid angry or obviously violent individuals
- If you find yourself in a "mob", find a safe spot and remain calm, text friends to let them know where you are
If you are in a dangerous situation, contact police when on campus at 412-624- 2121 (add this number to your speed dial); off-campus dial 911
- Treat others, including police officers, with respect
- Follow the direction of police officers and University officials
- Enroll in the ENS system to be advised of dangerous situations on campus
