Letter to friend

Dear Friend
I’ve been doing some research on some things that have happened at UCF that I think would need an improvement on. Recently there have been attacks that have happened here at the UCF campus in Orlando. A few things that I think should be improved are the cameras around campus. These attacks have happened at night and also have been targeted at the same person twice in one week. One of the things that helped the school police was a garage security camera, which identified the make and model of the car the attacker drives. I believe if there were cameras around the school campus that there would be a greater chance of catching these attackers.
Here are some safety features around school. There are a few things you should know such as there are Emergency Blue Light phones that can be found throughout the campus for emergency use only. Since the attack at Virginia Tech University UCF has put 4 new outdoor sirens, the next step the school is taking is to install 30 indoor sirens in the most occupied buildings to warn students of emergencies.

If you’re ever over at UCF these attacks aren’t an everyday thing but your better safe than sorry. Things to know: you are more prone to getting attacked at night when you travel alone. A few things you can do to prevent this from happening is if you aren’t with anyone to call someone and let them know where you are and stay on the phone with them till you get all the way to your car and have it started to be sure you are safe. One other way is to have a friend pick you up or make friends with someone in your night class and plan to park near or around them so you can walk with them back to your cars (the buddy system). Another thing that won’t hurt is to have the campus police number in your phone as a speed dial. There is one thing to remember this world isn’t safe you just have to be aware of your surroundings and be proactive (meaning think about the situation before it happens and prepare for it).
