The Department of Public Safety (DPS) has received several reports of stolen bicycles on campus over the last 24 hours. Most of the stolen bicycles were reportedly secured to a bicycle rack with a cable lock, which can be cut easily and discreetly.
DPS recommends using a U-bolt type of lock to better secure your bicycle and deter theft. These locks are available at the Syracuse University Bookstore in the Schine Student Center, as well as at most local retail stores and bicycle shops.
In addition, please consider registering your bicycle with DPS. To do that, complete this form to set up an appointment with an officer. A registration number will be affixed to your bicycle, and that information will be kept on record.
If you see anything suspicious, please call DPS immediately at 315.443.2224. If you would like to anonymously report NON-EMERGENCY information to DPS, you can use the Silent Witness tool or the Rave Guardian app.
