In conjunction with Operation Identification there are also dorm safety meetings where students meet Public Safety Officers and exchange ideas and information. The meetings are requested to discuss safety issues on campus or within the dormitory. Students are strongly encouraged to participate and contribute. Forming a partnership with the students is an essential goal of the department and benefits the entire community.
Public Safety also offers free bicycle registration for members of the Bryn Mawr College community. Once the form is completed a decal will be placed on the bicycle. A copy of the registration form will be on file with Public Safety and the owner will retain a copy.
Operation Identification
Public Safety has several engravers that can be signed out by members of the Bryn Mawr College community. The engravers are used to mark items such as computers, stereos and other valuables. In addition, to using the engravers Public Safety will also furnish a form so that you can write down important serial numbers and model numbers. The engraving, serial numbers and make and model information are crucial to law enforcement agencies, in the event that your property is stolen.
