• Cash left on your desk or in an unlocked drawer is a great temptation to thieves.
• Request authorization from persons asking for confidential information or from delivery or repair people who want to enter an area restricted to employees.

Key Control

• If keys are lost or stolen, notify the Department of Public Safety.
