Broadcast Time: 15:00 Date: April 17th, 2023 Type: Community Safety Alert (CSA) The University of Toronto Campus Safety would like the community to be aware of a type of incident that has been known to impact our community. Like the previous CSA, the incident takes advantage of a person's willingness to help a stranger in need. The perpetrator will provide a story meant to evoke a sympathetic response (ex.alleging to be a victim of an assault/trying to get home) and ask for assistance. The perpetrator's initial request is generally small (ex. requesting services or help from other personnel). In a recent incident, the perpetrator made a request that resulted in them being left alone in the helping person's office. The perpetrator left shortly thereafter, and subsequently it was discovered that the helping person's wallet was missing and their credit cards/bank cards were being used. The perpetrator is described as late 20s-early 30s, 5'1", medium build, light brown complexion, with tattoos on the fingers and backs of both hands, and sparse tattoos on the forearms, wearing a blonde/white/silver shoulder length wig, heavy makeup, and a jean jacket. The individual poses as a student. If you see this person on campus, please notify Campus Safety immediately (416-978-2222). If this this type of incident has happened to you, please contact Campus Safety (416-978-2323) so we can gather information. Students, Staff and Faculty are reminded of the various safety programs offered on campus including the TravelSafer program (416-978-SAFE (7233), U of T Safety App, and the Community Safety Office (416-978-1485).

Broadcast Time: 08:30 Date: Monday, April 10th, 2023 Type: Community Safety Alert (CSA) The University of Toronto Campus Safety would like the community to be aware of a type of scam that has been known to impact our community. The scam takes advantage of a person's willingness to help a stranger in need. The perpetrator will provide a story meant to evoke a sympathetic response (ex. alleging to be a victim of an assault) and ask for assistance. The initial request is generally small (ex. asking to be escorted somewhere) in order to get the person to agree. Subsequently, they will ask for for money, often in the range of $20-50. In several instances, the perpetrator pressures the person into going with them to an ATM and taking money out. If this type of incident has happened to you, please contact Campus Safety (416-978-2323). While it can be difficult to differentiate between legitimate and fraudulent requests from strangers, there are a few indicators of fraud to look out for: • they decline non-cash forms of help you offer • aspects of their story do not line up or seem far-fetched • they try to keep you separated or dissuade you from involving others Students, Staff and Faculty are reminded of the various safety programs offered on campus including the TravelSafer program (416-978-SAFE (7233), U of T Safety App, and the Community Safety Office (416-978-1485).

The following tips can help you use transit systems more safely. Be intentional – plan your route before you go Know your exits on the platform Know where the platform emergency phone/waiting area is located at your stops Be aware Move as briskly as you can – look like you know where you are going Use only one earbud so you can hear what is happening around you Don’t be so engrossed in your book/phone that you miss movements around you Look up every 5 minutes Pay attention Is there something happening on the platform/bus/train? Is someone paying you undue attention? Look out for others too – is someone else experiencing uncomfortable or harrasing behaviour? Can you move closer or make it obvious that you are watching? Check in with yourself – are you feeling uncomfortable/anxious? Should you wait for the next bus or train? Should you contact a friend/family member? Do you need to move closer to the driver or conductor? If you get off the bus/train, will you be in a populated station or area? Every transit provider has safety measures and suggestions in place: TTC https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/safety-and-security/travelling-safely GO Transit https://www.gotransit.com/en/travelling-with-us/safety-and-security/safety-tips Use the emergency strips to stop the train and bring an Operator to a location of concern TTC buses (but not streetcars) offer a Request Stop program. You need to give the Operator at least one stop’s notice and must get off using the front door: The Request Stop program is available to all customers travelling alone by bus between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Request Stop allows any customer feeling vulnerable to get off the bus between regular TTC stops. Use the U of T Safety app’s “Friend Walk” feature so that a trusted person can “walk” with you and alert 911 to your location if something happens to you. Not feeling comfortable with another passenger on the bus/streetcar? Move to the door closest to the driver, Wait for everyone else to get off before you at the next stop, if possible If the person causing you concern follows you off the stop, get right back on the bus/streetcar
