Happy New Year VCU! With the new year comes new laws – and there’s one in particular we’d like to highlight. It is now unlawful for any person, while driving a moving motor vehicle on the highways in Virginia, to hold a handheld personal communications device. (1/3)

What is stalking? It’s a pattern of behavior directed @ a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Stalking and harassment are similar & can overlap. Harassment may be part of a stalking pattern of behavior/course of conduct. (1/4)

Thanks for the timely reminder!!

🕹 Take valuable personal items home -- including gaming systems! If you leave anything valuable in your residence or office, lock it in a closet or cabinet. 🚪 Make sure all doors and windows in your residence or office are firmly locked. Take all keys with you. (@VCUFRSC)

"Now that those kits have been tested, the DNA profiles will sit in the state and national database and will be searched and used for solving crimes and bringing closure to victims for years to come" - @VCUFRSC Prof. Tracey Dawson Cruz. https://t.co/gzE7cF5J1X

Even when you’re quarantined, keep up this habit! One day we’ll come out of quarantine into a new reality, and it’ll be critical for us to be mindful in the early tender days of that new reality!! Until then - stay put! And #WashYourHands #COVID19 #WeGotThis
