[Eoscstudents] Monthly Safety Tip

[Alton Jones]

*If You See Something, Say Something:*



You can help our college community stay safe by reporting suspicious
activity to the Campus Police at 918-448-2365.



Suspicious activity is any observed behavior that could indicate terrorism
or terrorism-related crime. This includes, but is not limited to:



   - *Unusual items or situations:* A vehicle is parked in an odd location,
   a package/luggage that has been left unattended, a window/door that has
   been left open that is usually closed, or other out-of-the-ordinary
   situations;


   - *Eliciting information:* A person questions individuals at a level
   beyond curiosity about a building’s purpose, operations, security
   procedures and/or personnel, shift changes, etc;


   - *Observation/surveillance:* Someone pays unusual attention to
   facilities or buildings beyond a casual or professional interest. This
   includes extended loitering without explanation (particularly in concealed
   locations); unusual, repeated, and/or prolonged observation of a building
   (e.g., with binoculars or video camera); taking notes or measurements;
   counting paces; sketching floor plans, etc.

Some of these activities could be innocent—it's up to law enforcement to
determine whether the behavior warrants investigation. The activities above
are not all-inclusive but have been compiled based on studies of
pre-operational aspects of both successful and thwarted terrorist events
over several years.

Cool weather is here.  For a lot of southeast Oklahomans, autumn is the
season we look forward to the most. Finally, hunting season!  Here are a
few tips for all outdoorsmen and women:



   - Know what you are hunting for.
   - Receive permission on the property you plan to hunt.
   - Check that all equipment (i.e. bows, guns, stands, atv’s, etc.) are
   maintained and functioning properly.
   -  Let someone know where you plan on hunting, hiking, camping, or
   fishing, and how they can get there.  If possible, do not go out alone.
   - Always wear the legal amount of safety orange clothing (even if you
   are not hunting, there may be others that are and mistake you for game).
   - Know what you are shooting at ( always identify your target and what
   is beyond your target).
   - Properly dispose of any carcasses.
   - Stay hydrated.
   - Unload your weapons in a safe direction prior to stowing it in your
   vehicle.
   - Always plan for the worst.  Have a basic survival kit with you.
   - ENSURE your phone is charged and waterproofed.

Enjoy this nice cool weather, be safe, and good luck.
