SAFE AT YORK!
York University’s campuses are very safe; however, safety precautions should always be taken in and around our campuses.
• If you work/study alone or after business hours, ensure doors and windows are properly closed and locked.
• Keep your purse or wallet with you or locked in a secure place.
• Report graffiti, homophobic, or racist behaviour, as well as suspicious activity, crime and property damage.
• If walking alone, walk confidently and at a steady pace.
DId you know that as the number of bystanders increase, the number of them willing to help decreases? This is called the
Bystander Effect.
If you see a crime happening, take action immediately!
In case of an emergency, call 911 instantly. Then, it is recommended you call York University’s security services at:
416.736.5333 ext: 33333
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it.”

York University security services aim to partner with the community to create a campus environment that is safe for
students, faculty, staff and visitors.
