Hello,

There were NO Incident Reports taken by IITPSD for 4/10/2013.

Public Safety Tip of the Day for Visitors and Tourists:

While staying in a Hotel:

• Never automatically open your door when a knock is heard. Know your visitor’s identity prior to admittance. Use your peephole, if available, or talk through the locked door. If someone claims they are from maintenance, security or a hotel employee, phone the front desk to make sure the visitor is legitimate.
• Valuables should not be left in the room, you or the people who service your room may occasionally forget to lock it. Put valuables in a signed and sealed envelope and leave it in the room safe or the front desk safe deposit box.
• Be alert for suspicious persons in the hotel hallways. Report them to the manager.
• Do not advertise how long you will be away from your room. Leave a light on or a TV or radio playing to give the impression that the room is occupied.

Thank you,
