Campaign aims to reduce bike thefts
During October, members of the Patrol Unit will visit bicycle racks throughout the central campus, Science Hill and medical school looking for bicycles secured with cable-type locks. Officers will place informational stickers on all bicycles secured with cable- or chain-type locks to promote the use of U locks.
During the past academic year, 47 percent of all bicycles stolen were secured with cable or chain locks, while 19 percent of those stolen were secured with U-type locks. The remainder of the stolen bicycles had no locks at all.
This is the second year in which department members visited bike racks to encourage the use of U-type locks. University Police Chief James Perrotti asks that every member of the Yale community take an active role in securing their personal property. "The use of U-type locks provides superior protection as compared to cable- or chain-type locks, which can be easily defeated with simple tools," he says.
