WHAT:

The University of Missouri will host its annual Spring Safety Fair where students can learn how to secure their residence and stay safe over spring break.

Tips from MUPD:

• While gone, lock doors and windows, and stop mail.

• Unplug electronics that are not in use such as coffee pots, hair dryers and toasters.
• Turn the air conditioning up and the heat down.
