The Towson University Police Department is pleased to announce a great new opportunity called Online Personal Property Registration. All campus members, Students, Faculty, and Staff, may register personal property online through TUPD. Items such as computers, bikes, iPods, cameras, and other valuables can be entered. Your question might be why make the effort? The answer is that recovery opportunities rise enormously if an item is lost, stolen, or misplaced. Registration speeds up our work and your possible recovery of property. Thus we can be efficient and you can be relieved.
Don’t let your recovery odds diminish by failing to step up and do this. If you report a property theft and you haven’t recorded the information law enforcement needs to help you, the odds on getting your property back diminish greatly. Using the online registration program that records a serial number and property description creates much higher odds for recovery.
Here’s how it works: our police enter your serial numbers into a national database. Law enforcement agencies off campus, even out of state, are then able to retrieve the information so that stolen items may be recovered, confirmed as yours, and returned to you. The information is kept confidential and is only accessible to law enforcement officers.
The Personal Property Registration is FREE and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To access the site, visit the University Police Website, choose Crime Prevention and Reporting, then click the link to Personal Property Registration.
For more information about Personal Property Registration, please see any TUPD Officer or contact the TUPD Community Relations Office at 410-704-5622.
