Riding your bike to school has many benefits, including exercise and saving money on gas.  Unfortunately, there has been a higher than usual number of bike thefts recently in the Madison area, and at Madison College.  Unfortunately, some students have had their bikes stolen from the bicycle racks on campus.  This has occurred when the bikes were not locked up in the bike rack.
When coming to campus, please utilize the bike racks found near the entrance of the building and be sure to use a bike lock.  Bike thiefs look for crimes of opportunity, and an unlocked bike is an easy target.  If you forget your bike lock, please stop by the Public Safety office.  We will find a way to secure your bike while in class.
I’d also like to use this opportunity to remind the college community to keep all of their valuables locked up, as there has also been some thefts of phones, electronics and cash.  This is generally a result of these items being left out in the open, and unattended.  Always keep valuables with you.  If you notice any suspicious activity, or have any information regarding any of these thefts, please contact Public Safety.
Public Safety has Officers available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can reach us anytime by calling 608-245-2222. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [email protected].
