- Call the Department of Public Safety at x4444 or (610) 519-4444. Public Safety personnel will respond and will summon Radnor Police if necessary.
- Give your name, location, and telephone number. Do not hang up until the dispatcher tells you to do so. Advise the dispatcher of the situation and remain where you are until contacted by an officer unless you deem your location unsafe.
Hostile Intruder. If a hostile intruder is discovered in your immediate area, and you deem it unsafe to evacuate, retreat to a secure location such as an office or room that can be locked. Turn off lights, remain quiet, keep low to the ground and hide behind a desk or other furniture. Do not attempt to apprehend or interfere with the suspect except for self-protection. If safe to do so, stop and take time to get a good description of the criminal. Note height, weight, sex, race, approximate age, clothing, method and direction of travel, and his/her name, if known.
Suspect Entering Vehicle. If the suspect is entering a vehicle, note the license plate number, make and model, color, and outstanding characteristics. All of this takes only a few seconds and is of the utmost help to the investigating officers.
Civil Disturbance. In the event of civil disturbance, continue in as much as possible with your normal routine. If the disturbance is outside, stay away from doors and windows. Do not interfere with those persons creating the disturbance or with authorities on the scene.
