Public Safety Informational Notice: Occupied Burglary Reported at Off-Campus Residence

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is informing the Syracuse University community of an off-campus burglary that was reported last night, Friday, May 22.

At approximately 11:45 p.m., DPS and the Syracuse Police Department (SPD) responded to a residence in the 1100 block of Madison St. regarding an occupied burglary. A Syracuse University student reported that when they returned to their residence, an unknown individual wearing a brown jacket and gray sweatpants was in their apartment. The suspect took several items before fleeing the residence. Another student was in the home at the time. No injuries were reported.

As a reminder, please take the following steps to protect yourselves, your belongings and your property:
• Always lock and secure your doors, even when you are home.
• Do not prop or leave entry doors unsecured, including apartment and building entryways.
• Keep valuables out of plain sight and store important items in a secure location.
• Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity immediately.

If you were in the vicinity at the time and witnessed the incident, please contact the Syracuse Police Department at 315.442.5222 or the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety at 315.443.2224.

If you or someone you know has been affected by an incident on or near campus, please know that there are resources available to you. In addition, for your safety, please review these suggested safety strategies.

This public safety information is issued for your safety in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Act.

🤝 SU DPS is proud to partner with regional public safety agencies on community safety initiatives that go beyond our campus borders.

Last week, our team joined partners for a ""See Something, Say Something"" outreach effort throughout the downtown and University areas of Syracuse — visiting 44 businesses and speaking with 103 business owners and managers about recognizing suspicious activity, reporting procedures, and ways to make their facilities more secure ahead of a busy summer season.

Thank you to all of our partners for the continued collaboration. Together, we're working to keep our community a safe place to live, work, and visit. 🧡
