Safety Update: MUPD reminds drivers not to leave valuables in unattended vehicles

In response to an uptick in vehicle break-ins across the City of Milwaukee, Marquette University Police Department is reminding drivers on campus to remove valuable items from their vehicles. Perpetrators are breaking car windows and grabbing visible/accessible items of value.

If you witness a car break-in, do not engage the perpetrators. In looking at recent trends, most of these crimes are committed by organized, larger groups of people.

Be a good witness:

• Stay safe. Keep a safe distance and do not draw attention to your presence.
• Call MUPD at (414) 288-1911. Share as much information as you can gather.

If you observe any suspicious behavior or fear for your safety at any time, contact MUPD at (414) 288-1911 or through the mobile Blue Light feature on the EagleEye app. To utilize the mobile Blue Light feature, enable location services on your phone.
