	Task Force Safe School (TFSS) Primer What is Task Force Safe Schools (TFSS)? TFSS is a joint project of DLSU-M, DLS-CSB and SSC whose aim is to focus efforts on fighting and minimizing school crimes geared towards encouraging students to exercise constant vigilance in order to have a 100% safe school. Since it is a joint campaign, students from any of the three schools can report incidents of crime or suspicious circumstances to the nearest security office of any of the three schools. How to stay safe? Always attend to your belongings in places or areas that are prone to incidents of theft. Keep your belongings in a safe place, especially during PE classes, when in comfort rooms, and while working in the library or other public areas. Avoid wearing expensive jewelry or carrying large amount of money. Keep your money and wallet in the inside pocket of your bags. Walk on the lighted side of the streets and where there are people. Avoid walking alone. Walk near the curb and don’t pass too close to shrubbery, dark doorways and other places of concealment. Carry a shrill whistle in you hand ready to use. This may call attention and distract the assailant. If someone is following you across the street, head for bright lights and people. Be ready to use whistle. Basic Common Sense Rules Know your surroundings. Be aware of your environment and be wary of conspicuous observers. Pay attention to what is going on around you at all times. Report suspicious persons on and off-campus to the Security and the Student Affairs Office. Include the description and location of the person. When riding a taxi cab, be alert. Lock the doors and observe the route the driver takes to get to your destination. Before boarding, ask someone you know to take note of the name, plate and body number of the taxi cab. Do not take a taxi cab that does not have a body number, operator name or address on both sides. This type of taxi is usually used by robbers. While this list is not all-inclusive, the crime rate on-and off-campus will decrease if we follow these common-sense rules. It is important to remember that crime can happen anywhere and anytime. Keep watch and stay safe. COMMON SENSE IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST CRIME Report incidents of theft or violence to the proper authorities for immediate action.
