Operation Identification

Operation ID is a citizen’s burglary prevention program that involves the marking of property with an identifying number for discouraging theft and facilitating recovery.

• Mark each item of your personal property with a portion of your Social Security or Driver’s License number. This number should be in an area that is not easily dismantled and which cannot be easily seen.
• List all the items identified and keep this list in a safe place, away from any valuables.
• Report stolen items immediately to the University Police Department at (903) 233-4441 or 4442 (if no answer, call 4444). If the stolen items are valued at more than $50, University Police will notify the Longview Police Department.

Loss and Theft Liability

The University accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to your personal possessions, whether by theft, fire, or other disasters, or by technological or electrical interruptions. You are encouraged to obtain your own insurance for personal belongings. Check with your parents concerning coverage on their Homeowner’s Policy, or consider purchasing your own college student dormitory or renter’s insurance policy.
