SECURITY TIPS FOR HIGHRISE RESIDENTS
1. Join the crime watch program Project Look-out, or to get one started. Call 612-342-1331, or look for posted meeting notices.
2. Never try to handle an unsafe situation on your own. Do not confront anyone. Call 911 for help.
3. Immediately report security and safety concerns to your building manager.
4. Do not intentionally let a non-resident follow you through the security door.
5. Only “buzz-in” your own guests.
6. Each resident is responsible for letting in their own guests. You must accompany your guest at all times except for going to and from your unit.
7. Never prop open security doors or other building exits.
8. For your own safety, keep your door locked at all times, whether you are in or out of your apartment. Check the peep-hole before opening your door.
