At each of these designated times, an FIT Security Guard
will escort all students who have
assembled to Kaufman Hall. After the group arrives at
Kaufman Hall, FIT Security will similarly escort all
students who would like to return to West 27th Street. There
will be two trips each hour through the night returning to
the campus. Estimated times for departing Kaufman Hall are
on the quarter hour (e.g.: 7:15 PM, 8:15 PM) and on the

April 14, 2008 - Health Club Locker Room Theft
Prevention
In our effort to reduce the crimes of larceny and
identity theft, we are assisting the NYPD in disseminating
the following crime prevention of locker room theft.
You can help keep New York the safest large city in the
nation by being responsible, avoid losing your property, and
possibly providing your personal information to identify
thieves, by following these ten simple tips:
- Never leave gym bags, wallets, pocketbooks,
briefcases an other valuables unattended
even for a moment.
- Avoid bringing high value items such as expensive
watches and jewelry, large amounts of cash, laptop
computers, cameras, etc., to gym lockers, or the health
club.
- Remember, gym lockers for valuables, located in an
area under constant surveillance of staff and/or video
cameras.
- Bring a good quality keyed lock or combination lock
(without a serial number) to secure the locker.
- Alternate the locker you utilize.
- Always double check that you locker is properly
secured, before walking away.
- Never leave your locker open and unattended, even
for a brief period such as showering, or using the
restroom inside the locker room.
- Be aware of who is around you at all times and
report suspicious persons/incidents to security.
- Always report stolen property to the Security
Department and the police.
Your assistance in helping the Security Department and
NYPD keep New York City the safest large city in the nation
is invaluable.
