Suspicious Behavior:
What Is It?
A person isn't suspicious, his/her behavior is!
Here is a list of some suspicious signs and behavior:
A person running: If he or she were looking about furtively, as if he or she were being watched or chased.
A person hauling property: If he or she were hauling property, such as a stereo, office equipment, lab equipment, or a locked bike, at an unusual time or location.
Someone going door-to-door in an office building or residential hall/area: This person may be looking for an opportunity to steal unattended property from unsecured offices/residential areas.
Anyone forcing their way into a locked vehicle: This is highly suspicious especially at night and in one of Rensselaer’s parking areas.
Business transactions being held at a vehicle: Someone could be conducting an illegal drug or stolen property sale.
One or more people sitting in a parked car checking out the area: They may be lookouts for a crime in progress (burglary/robbery) or for plotting a crime.
Someone being forced into a vehicle: this may be a kidnapping.
A person showing unusual mental or physical symptoms: He or she may be injured in an accident, be under the influence of illegal drugs or prescribed medications, or need other medical or psychiatric help.
