Dear Public Safety Friends,
Another success story with CU Public Safety's / NYPD Operation ID program.
SIPA Student Hsiu Lu is reunited with her mini laptop thanks to CU Public Safety / NYPD Operation ID program. Ms. Lu thought the worst when she misplaced her laptop on campus. A good Samaritan found it and noticed the unique Police ID number marked on the back and turned it in to Public Safety.
CU Public Safety will be engraving & registering laptops, MP3 Players, and other electronics in the lobby of the SIPA Building by the "FISH BOWL" on Friday, February 11, 2011, between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Engraved properties will be registered with the NYPD and CU Public Safety from New York to California. Operation ID is FREE, EFFECTIVE, A GREAT LOST & FOUND TOOL, and makes it difficult for thief to sell engraved/registered properties.
If you have not downloaded the free PC & laptop recovery program, PC Phone Home or Mac Phone Home from the CUIT website, please go to: www.columbia.edu/acis/software/pcphonehome follow the instructions on this link for PC or Mac Phone Home.
