NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is investigating an unauthorized entry that occurred inside a university leased apartment at 109 St. Stephen St. A student reported that sometime between Tuesday evening 8/29/2023 and early this morning 9/1/2023, an unknown individual had gained access to their apartment while vacant and rummaged through items within the apartment. Access appears to have been gained through an unlocked bedroom window off the fire escape. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Northeastern University Police Department at 617.373.2121.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Secure Your Residence – Lock Your Doors and Windows

• Use the risor restrictors on windows, particularly those accessible near ground floor levels or fire escapes.  Be aware of your surroundings when coming and going from your residence and do not let others “piggyback” into your apartment building.  If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe, contact NUPD at 617.373.3333 or activate the SafeZone app as soon as you are able.

SafeZone Mobile Safety App 

• SafeZone is a smart phone app that any student, faculty, or staff member can download and use for free. This app will connect you directly to the NUPD should you need our assistance or emergency support while you are on campus. More information on the SafeZone mobile app can be found at nupd.northeastern.edu/safezone

Know Your Resources 

• Take note of where emergency phones are on campus and know that you can always contact the NUPD. The NUPD offers personal safety escorts 24 hours a day from one point to another on campus whenever you feel unsafe. From 7:00pm until 6:00am, the REDEYE service is available to provide you with a ride up to two miles off campus. For additional information on all of the services that NUPD offers, please see our website at nupd.northeastern.edu or contact us at 617.373.2121.

Trust Your Instincts

• Taking control of your own safety means doing what is necessary to avoid dangerous situations. If something doesn’t feel right, even if you can’t put your finger on why, try to remove yourself from the situation altogether. Trust your instincts and contact NUPD at 617.373.2121.

Emergency Notification | Timely Warning Notification

• Northeastern University uses the NU Alert system to communicate emergency notifications and timely warning messages to our community.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is investigating a robbery that occurred inside the Columbus Parking Garage late last night at approximately 11:00 pm.  A student was approached by three male suspects on the 2nd level of the garage who stole cash from the victim.  The victim was not injured.  The suspects fled the area away from campus.

Out of an abundance of caution, the NUPD has increased patrols on campus.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. Plan your route and avoid unfamiliar streets whenever possible. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify security staff immediately. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or threatened, contact NUPD at 617.373.3333 or activate the SafeZone app as soon as you are able.

Avoid Walking Alone

• There is safety in numbers, and it is always beneficial to walk with others, especially at night. Wanting to get home after a night out or between late night classes, you may be tempted to give in to walking alone – avoid it whenever possible and if you feel unsafe, contact NUPD.

SafeZone Mobile Safety App 

• SafeZone is a smart phone app that any student, faculty, or staff member can download and use for free. This app will connect you directly to the NUPD should you need our assistance or emergency support while you are on campus.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] and the Boston Police Department are investigating an unarmed robbery that occurred outside of the Renaissance Park building earlier this morning. A staff member performing maintenance on their vehicle was approached by a male suspect that threatened the staff member and proceeded to flee the area in the staff member’s vehicle. The staff member was not injured and this has been determined to be an isolated incident. The suspect was later apprehended outside of Boston. There is no continued threat to the campus.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep It Secure

• Similar to securing your office and other spaces, it is important to secure your vehicle when it is not being operated. When doors are unlocked, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors on your vehicle and your building secure helps keep everyone safe. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or threatened, contact NUPD at 617.373.3333 or activate the SafeZone app as soon as you are able.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• Remove distractions whenever possible.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is working with London authorities on investigating an incident that occurred this morning at Devon House, the NCH at Northeastern campus in London. The incident involved an individual who entered the campus building without proper access. The individual was quickly located and escorted out of the building. While no one was injured and no items were taken, the individual verbally threatened a staff member. The suspect is not believed to be affiliated with Northeastern.

The NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep the Building Secure

• The individual involved in this morning’s incident was able to gain access to the building while someone was leaving through the secured entry. If security doors are held or propped open, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized to be in the building. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors secure helps keep the building and its occupants safe. Similarly, holding open a secured door for someone you don’t know, or allowing someone to enter as you exit without properly signing in, puts the building’s security at risk. Don’t be afraid to ask the individual to use their own key or card to access the building. If you feel that there is a building security issue, notify security staff immediately.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert.

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department [NUPD] is investigating an incident that occurred earlier this evening in Stetson West and Speare Hall involving an individual that entered the residential buildings without proper access. During the incident, the individual entered two rooms that had doors propped open. Residents and ResLife staff quickly notified the NUPD leading to the apprehension of the suspect. The suspect is not affiliated with Northeastern. No one was injured and no items were taken during this incident.

While there is no further threat, the NUPD would like to share the following important safety tips:

Keep the Building Secure

• The individual in question was able to gain access to the building while someone was leaving through the secured door. He also entered a room because someone left the door open. If security doors are propped open, you may be inadvertently providing access to someone that is not authorized to be in the building. Both on-campus and off-campus, keeping doors secure helps keep the building and its residents safe. Similarly, holding open a secured door for someone you don’t know puts the building’s security at risk. Don’t be afraid to ask the individual to use their own key or card to access the building. If you feel that there is a building security issue, notify NUPD at 617-373-3333 or utilize the SafeZone app.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

• An alert Proctor notified NUPD immediately when he saw the individual improperly enter the building. Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert.

Northeastern University Police Department

NUPD Timely Warning Notification

The Northeastern University Police Department and city law enforcement agencies are investigating a robbery that occurred at approximately 2:12 p.m. today, Friday, October 30, near the Boston campus in the area of Tavern Road and Ruggles Street. The suspect in this incident was armed with a knife and a camera was taken. The victim, a Northeastern University student, sustained a minor injury. This incident is similar to other recent cases reported by the Boston Police Department in the surrounding community. Out of an abundance of caution, the NUPD will increase the patrols on campus.

At this time, the NUPD would like to provide you with the following safety awareness tips:

Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Remove distractions whenever possible. Getting lost in thought or in your headphones may be routine when walking to class or studying in a quiet spot, but it is crucial to keep your eyes and ears open. While this sounds easy enough, listening to music, talking on a cell phone, and text messaging are all distractions. Know what is going on around you and keep alert. If you notice anything that you feel is unsafe or suspicious, notify the NUPD at 617.373.3333 or activate the SafeZone app.

Avoid Walking Alone
There is safety in numbers and it is always beneficial to walk with others, especially at night. Wanting to get home after a night out or between late night classes, you may be tempted to give in to walking alone – avoid it whenever possible and if you feel unsafe, contact NUPD.

SafeZone Mobile Safety App 
SafeZone is a smart phone app that any student, faculty, or staff member can download and use for free. This app will connect you directly to the NUPD should you need our assistance or emergency support while you are on campus.
