COMMUNITY POLICING Community Policing Since our inception in 1904, the University of Toronto Campus Safety has had a proud history of fostering strong partnerships with our campus community and surrounding neighbourhoods through our community policing initiatives. We believe that our success is only made possible through the strength of the relationships we have with the communities we serve. "Reflecting our communities" isn't just a motto to us - it's the standard that we continuously strive for through our practices, policies and programs. We are proud to support these organizations:

General Occurrence Reporting The University of Toronto Campus Safety Special Constable Service currently accepts reports by phone, in-person and via the U of T Safety App. We do not accept reports over social media and in most cases, we are unable to act on anonymous reports - particularly in criminal matters where there must be a victim to proceed with charges. Most criminal matters reported to our Service, with the exception of a few (including sexual assaults), will be investigated by Campus Safety Special Constables. Please note that, in some cases, the issue that you are reporting may not be a criminal matter. In such cases, officers will make all reasonable efforts to direct you to a more appropriate reporting contact. If you report an occurrence, you can expect to see the following process take place: A Campus Safety Special Constable will interview you and collect the following information: Your personal information (e.g. name, date of birth, address, uToronto ID number) Your contact information (e.g. phone number, email address) Your statement (if you are providing a written statement, you will be asked to sign it) Any evidence you have pertaining to the occurrence If an occurrence report will be generated, the investigating Special Constable will provide you with an occurrence number - if one is available at the time of the interview. Occurrence reports that are generated are forwarded to our Community Resource Unit for further investigation. A copy of the occurrence report may also be submitted to the Toronto Police Service. Following Up on a Report Campus Safety Special Constables will not contact you after a report is made, unless further information is required by investigators or unless there is an update that we can share with you. Due to the call volume and caseload of investigators, it is not possible for us to provide an update on the disposition of every report that comes in. If you need to follow up with the Campus Safety Special Constable Service regarding a report you had filed because you have new information that is relevant to the occurrence you reported, please contact Campus Safety Communications at 416-978-2323 and reference the occurrence number (if one was provided to you) when asking to speak with an officer.

Theft Prevention Did You Know? In most cases of personal property thefts commonly reported to Campus Safety, the items that were taken were left unattended - often for a very short period of time! You can greatly reduce the likelihood of falling victim to a personal property theft by removing the opportunity and taking/keeping your belongings with you - even if you intend to step away briefly. Consider employing some of these theft prevention strategies to keep yourself safe on or off campus! Theft of Electronics Don't leave your personal electronics unattended - keep them in sight and within reach. Pack lightly for the day and keep your valuables at home unless you need them. Pay attention to your surroundings when taking out and using your electronic devices. Consider purchasing a STOP Plate for your laptop or tablet to help increase chances of recovery in the event of a theft. Keep a record of your device's information (e.g. serial #, make and model) somewhere safe to help increase the chance of recovery. Theft from Lockers Invest in a high-quality lock for your locker and use it! Check your lock on a regular basis and replace it if it showing signs of wear. Keep your locker combination or your key to yourself. Consider leaving valuables that you don't need for the day at home. Pay attention to your surroundings when accessing your locker, especially when depositing items into your locker. Report any suspicious activity to Campus Police or Building Patrollers. Always double check your lock before leaving the area to ensure it is secure. Theft from Vehicles Ensure all doors are locked and secured prior to leaving the area. Check to ensure all windows (including sunroofs) are closed entirely. Don't leave valuables in your car - if you must leave them, hide them from view prior to parking. Be mindful that charging cords, GPS mounts and other accessories left in plain view can signal the presence of valuable items in the vehicle. Keep them hidden. Don't leave your registration or insurance paperwork in the vehicle - these documents have your home address listed. Don't leave your home car garage openers in the vehicle - take it with you.

A Fraud Awareness Initiative from: Fraud prevention starts with awareness. Learn more about the two known fraud schemes being used to target university students across the GTA and how you can protect yourself. Fraud Scheme 1: "Return to Sender" The Victim receives an automated call from a delivery company about a package. It connects to a person claiming to work for a delivery company. The Victim is "transferred" to the police and is then told a package addressed to them, containing illegal goods, has been intercepted. The Victim is told they face arrest and deportation for their involvement. The Victim is told that they have an opportunity to pay a fine to avoid jail/deportation. Fraud Scheme 2: "Laundry Card" The Victim receives a call from a person claiming to work for police. The Victim is told that their bank card has been used in a money laundering scheme and their accounts are going to be locked. The Victim is told they must help with the investigation to clear their name and are told to withdraw the money from their accounts and deposit it to a "secure system" via Bitcoin while the investigation continues. The Victim is told this money will be returned at the end of the investigation. Not sure if that call or email you received is legitimate? Hit P.A.U.S.E before responding to any communication you're unsure about. It may just help keep you and your money safe! In many of the fraud cases reported to Special Constables, victims have reported losing a substantial amount of money to scammers (in some cases exceeding $10,000). In addition to the loss of money, victims are often left dealing with concerns of identity theft and credit fraud from the misuse of their personal information. P PROTECT your personal information! Don't give out information that the caller doesn't already have. This can include: Your Name, Your Address, Your Birthdate, Your Social Insurance Number, Your Passport Number, Your Credit Card or Banking Info A ASK questions about the caller or sender. Scammers often pose as law enforcement or a delivery company. Verify the caller or sender's identity for yourself by calling their agency or company on the publicly listed number. Don't let them transfer you to this number themselves - hang up and call back on your own. U Is the call UNSOLICITED , UNEXPECTED , or UNUSUAL ? If you weren't expecting a delivery or phone call, be extra cautious and fact-check any information the caller provides. Be aware that scammers can use call-spoofing technology to make it appear that the call is originating from a legitimate source. S Be SUSPICIOUS of calls where you're being pressured to act with urgency. Scammers have threatened jail time, fines or deportation in an effort to push victims to send money quickly. The police, Canada Revenue Agency or the Canada Border Services Agency do NOT employ these tactics nor do they seek payment of legitimate fines this way. E EXERCISE caution with links and attachments. Don't click links or download files from emails or messaging apps if you don't know the source. It could be malware. Be cautious of allowing remote access to your computer. If you are having problems with your system, consider bringing it in-person to the IT Help Desk for support.
