DPS recommends:

• If multiple people have access to a storage room or office, ensure that everyone follows the same protocols for keeping the area secure.
• Keep an inventory of items in the storage unit and be sure to update the list each time something is removed or replaced.  Keep serial numbers of any higher-priced items or equipment, to ensure that property can be returned to you if recovered. 
• If you believe that your office or apartment has been entered, it is important for your safety that you do not enter the area.  Immediately call DPS at (808) 956-6911 or HPD at 911.
• Contact us if you observe suspicious people, vehicles, or activity on campus.  While the term “suspicious” may mean different things to different people, we urge our community to contact us even if they aren’t sure whether or not something seems out of place.  If you see something, say something by immediately calling DPS at (808) 956-6911 or HPD at 911 so an officer can respond to check the location.
