On the first Monday after the end of daylight saving time, the Washington University Police Department kicks off its “Don’t be in the Dark” safety program. The program, in its 10th year, serves to educate students about safety tips while walking after dark.
WUPD will implement the program beginning tonight and continue through Thursday, Nov. 5.
Officers will be located in the area of Skinker Boulevard and Forest Park Parkway and also on the Greenway Overpass, where they will talk to students about personal safety and have whistles available to hand out.
Information about how to obtain a whistle or safety card as well as other safety information can be found on the WUPD website. You may also contact Sgt. Bob Wayne in the Crime Prevention Office at 314-935-5084.
