We've recently seen an increase in bicycle and scooter thefts, along with injuries involving these modes of transportation. The Texas Tech Police Department is asking for the campus community's help in protecting personal property and keeping our campus safe.

Here are a few thing you can do to help protect your property and stay safe while riding:
1️⃣ Use a heavy-duty, such as a U-lock, to secure your bicycle or scooter.
2️⃣Consider adding a tracking device to help locate your property if it's lost or stolen.
3️⃣Register your property for free with Transportation and Parking, and keep a record of your serial number, model, and brand.
4️⃣Take photos of your property and make note of any unique features.
5️⃣Follow traffics laws while riding. Bicycles and scooters must obey the rules of the road, including stopping at stop signs and traffic lights.
6️⃣If you see something suspicious, say something! Your information could help us prevent a theft or solve an investigation.

If you witness suspicious activity or have other information that may assist with an investigation, please contact the Texas Tech Police Department at 806-742-3931. Our officers patrol campus 24/7, 365 days a year to keep our campus community safe. Look out for one another and stay safe Red Raiders!

Who’s ready for Homecoming?! The pep rally, bonfire, and concert are all happening TOMORROW NIGHT, and we can’t wait!

Before you head out, we have a few reminders to help you plan ahead. Security screening will be required for everyone attending, and the clear bag policy will be in effect. Umbrellas, coolers, weapons, and other prohibited items are not allowed, so double-check what you’re bringing before you leave. Nobody wants to make an extra trip back to the car! 😂

Check out the link below for the full list of prohibited items and more information about tomorrow night’s entertainment.

Some years pass, but the loss never becomes just a memory. In 2017, we lost an officer who gave so much of himself in service to others. Today, we remember more than the end of a watch — we remember a life, a sacrifice, and the people who still carry his absence with them. His time here was cut short, but the impact he made remains. Never forgotten. 🖤💙

It has been 25 years, and yet we will never forget this day.

Today, we honor and remember the lives that were lost and the families who were forever changed. We also honor the brave souls who ran toward the danger, putting their own lives on the line to save others.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
