Burglary

This alert is being sent in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Act, as this incident represents a Clery Act crime that occurred on Clery Act geography and poses a serious or continuing threat to the campus community.

On 11/6/23 at 2:27 AM, an attempted breaking and entering was reported at Residence Hall 28.  The occupants of the room reported that they were woken up to an unknown subject opening their first-floor window and begin to mess with the blinds. The occupants called out and the suspect then shut the window and fled the scene.  The window was unlocked at the time of the incident.

If you are in immediate danger, call Liberty University Police Department at 434-592-3911 or call 9-1-1. Criminal incidents can be reported to Liberty University Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) who are designated, trained, and mandatory reporters under the Clery Act when victims chose not to report to law enforcement.

Be sure to lock up your vehicles, residential hall rooms, and offices when you leave. Please ensure that all windows are locked each day, and they are relocked immediately after each use. Remove any valuables from sight or take them with you when you leave.

Do not allow anyone to follow you into your residence hall or a secured area as you enter and secure spaces that are unoccupied to reduce the risk of a crime of opportunity.

Trust your instincts. If you feel uneasy or sense something is wrong, do what you can to get out of that situation or call for assistance.
