Director of Public Safety Daniel Nichols advised students in a Feb. 3 memo to contact Metropolitan Police if they see anything suspicious due to recent armed robberies in Northwest D.C.
Metro police stated the suspects of robberies may have been carrying a handgun or other weapon, according to the memo. The crimes are still being investigated.
To stay safe, Nichols said students should:
• Walk in groups
• Avoid traveling in dark or isolated areas
• Pay attention to details in their surroundings
• Keep Public Safety’s number in their phone at all times-- 202-885-3636
• Be aware of emergency telephone boxes, recognizable by their yellow boxes, light blue phone towers and red telephones.
