The following insurance information has been provided by Risk Management:

I.  Equipment does not have to be locked down or engraved to be covered by 
the University's insurance.  For equipment which is not locked
down the deductible premium for each incident is: 

        a.      Forced entry:  $1000 deductible
        b.      Non-forced entry: $5000 deductible

II.  In order to lower the deductible, a buy-down can be purchased at an     
annual premium rate of $.65/$100 worth of equipment.

        a.      Forced entry: $250 deductible
        b.      Non-forced entry:  $1000 deductible

III. If you wish, you can have your equipment secured through a lock-down    
device, by engraving, or by a STOP tag.  (A STOP tag  is an I.D. plate 
which is attached to the equipment with epoxy glue.  If and when the tag  
is removed, a tatoo is left stating "this is stolen property" and has an   
800 number to call.  This has been stated to work very well - the cost 
is $10.50/tag). 

        a.      This security is handled through the UC Campus Police.
        b.      All items with lock-down devices/engraving will be         
                checked periodically by the police.
        c.      The police must have a set of keys for all lock-down devices.

IV.  Cory Hall is secured with cardkey systems and security cameras.          
Although it doesn't lessen the deductibles, it does lessen the
amount of thefts we have had.        

Below are listed some answers to a number of questions as to whether we are
meeting campus security requirements.   Risk Management and the UCPD said
that Cory Hall has done a good job with its security.

1.   In order for our machine shop installed steel cable/padlock
security to qualify as proper security under the Risk Management policy,
the system would have to be checked by the UC Crime Prevention Unit.                 
Under the Risk Management policy, you must use lock-down devices 
supplied by the recommended vendors.   If you want a list of these vendors,
please call Eleta at 2-1468 or send e-mail to eleta@hera.

2.   The UCB00-00-00000 tag number does qualify as proper identification 
under the policy as long as it is accompanied by engraving or STOP tag 
and lock-down devices.  It is another valid way of identifying stolen 
equipment, even if the tag has been removed.  A record of these numbers 
are kept by Equipment Management and by our own department inventory.

3.   We comply with BUS #29 by managing a controlled inventory of all of     
our equipment with a value of $500 and more.

4.   Cory Hall maintains and replenishes keys as needed. A record is
kept of all keys disbursed and returned.  Close contact is kept with the UCPD  
when ordering any type of building master key.

5.   A security survey is kept on all equipment ordered by having all        
individuals ordering their equipment to fill out an Equipment   
Disposition Form. 

6.   The Machine Shop (3-8400, benlake@hera) is willing to install cabling 
and engraving of your equipment for a nominal charge.
