Time well spent on preventative measures is worth every second. Operation ID is a national crime prevention program designed to prevent property from being stolen and assists in identifying property. At the beginning of each semester, the York College Crime Prevention Officer will come to each resident's room and engrave personal property with the owner's driver's license number. A dual record of what was engraved will be made for the owner and for the Department of Public Safety. An engraver may be borrowed from the Department of Campus Safety Office at any time. Please fill out the OPERATION ID PROPERTY REGISTRATION FORM and return it to the Department of Campus Safety.

Many bicycles that are stolen and than recovered by law enforcement personnel are never returned to their rightful owners. Registering your bike with the National Bike Registry significantly increases the chance of having your bike returned to you in the event that it is stolen and then recovered. |

| Registration is simple and can be completed over the internet. For more information or to begin the registration process, the York College Department of Public Safety encourages you to visit the National Bike Registry at http://www.nationalbikeregistry.com/ |

Residence Hall Safety
Whether you live in a freshmen dorm or an upper classman apartment, there are certain risks associated with college living. To decrease your chances of becoming a victim of crime, follow these safety tips:
- Be alert to your surroundings, aware of potential dangers, and avoid certain situations.
- Please notify the Department of Campus Safety or a residence hall staff member if you witness any suspicious activities or people.
- Remember to lock your doors and take your ID and room key with you at all times.
- Do not let strangers into your residence hall.
- When locked out, students should use the call boxes to contact security and gain entry to the buildings.
- Never prop an outside entrance to your building.
- Don't advertise absences on your whiteboard or aim away messages.
- Never leave valuables (money, credit cards, jewelry, cell phones, cameras, etc.) lying out in plain sight.
Simply locking a room door could have prevented over 60% of all thefts on campus! Don't let yourself become the next victim. Use common sense and exercise caution.
This winter brings along extra hazards with its cold weather. To ensure your safety during these frigid days and nights, please review these safety tips and cautions from the experts:
MAJOR RISK FACTORS FOR COLD-RELATED STRESSES
- Wearing inadequate or wet clothing (increases the effects of cold on the body).
- Taking certain drugs or medications such as alcohol, nicotene, caffeine, and medication that inhibit the body's response to the cold or impairs judgment.
- Having a cold or certain diseases, such as diabetes, heart, vascular, and thyroid problems (may make a person more susceptible to the winter elements).
- Being male (men have far greater death rates from cold exposure than women, perhaps due to inherent risk-taking activities, body-fat composition or other physiological differences).
- Becoming exhausted or immobilized, especially due to injury or entrapment (may speed up the effects of cold weather).
SYMPTOMS OF FROSTBITE
- Initial effects of frostbite include uncomfortable sensations of coldness; tingling, stinging or aching feeling of the exposed area followed by numbness. Ears, fingers, toes, cheeks, and noses are primarily affected. Frostbitten areas appear white and cold to the touch. The appearance of frostbite varies depending on whether rewarming has occured.
- Deeper frostbite involves freezing of deeper tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.) causing exposed areas to become numb, painless, hard to touch.
SYMPTOMS OF HYPOTHERMIA
- The first symptoms of hypothermia, shivering, an inability to do complex motor functions, lethargy, and mild confusion, occur as the core body temperature decreases to around 95 degrees Fairenheit (35 degrees Celcius).
- As body temperature continues to fall, hypothermia becomes more severe. The individual falls into a state of dazed consciousness, failing to complete even simple motor functions. The victim's speech becomes slurred and his or her behavior may become irrational.
If you or someone you know exhibit any of these signs, seek medical treatment immediately.
