CAMPUS SAFETY
AND
INFORMATION
“Service Without Compromise”
Campus Safety is dedicated to providing
the PLU community a safe and secure campus
environment. Campus Safety works in partnership
with the Central Pierce Fire and Rescue and the
Pierce County Sheriff’s Department on issues and
incidents related to the campus community.
Campus Safety is comprised of both
professional staff and student staff. Officers are
trained in CPR and First Aid. They also receive
training in diversity, crisis intervention, interpersonal
communication and a host of other forums. The
training program is on-going and a vital part of
learning and professional development.
Campus Safety student staff are divided into
four positions; Safety Officers, Video Officers,
Communications Officers and Escort Officers.
Campus Safety provides several services to the
PLU community:
• Escorts: walking escorts around the campus
community are provided 24 hours a day

campus within a designated boundary
• Emergency Medical Response

Most parking lots around campus are
equipped with emergency phones, easily located by
the blue light visible on the top of the phone pole.
Video Surveillance is used in most parking
lots 24 hours per day.
