The UT Dallas Police Department would like to encourage our electric scooter and bicycle owners to follow the following recommendations in regard to securing your property to prevent theft.
- If you own an electric scooter, when possible, keep the scooter with you but do not ride inside of the buildings.
- When locking a bicycle or scooter at an approved rack, use a metal U-Shape style lock, sometimes referred as “D-Locks.” A cable lock can be cut very quickly with bolt cutters.
- If you reside inside of a campus apartment, when possible, secure your bicycle inside the apartment.
- Always have your serial number and model information available if needed to file a police report.
- If you observe anyone cutting and removing a lock from a bicycle or scooter, and the person is not wearing a UTD uniform, please contact the police department immediately.
- UT Dallas Crime Prevention Unit provides etching pens available free of charge to engrave your identifying information onto your property. Contact Crime Prevention at 972-883-4322 or at Spig@utdallas.edu to set up an appointment to etch your property.
Let’s be Comet Safe by working together!
