The primary responsibility of Public Safety is to help protect persons and property.
Crime prevention and awareness is not the sole responsibility of the Public Safety. It is a joint
venture with the community which it serves. The Public Safety provides security information,
assistance, and service to aid campus occupants in the protection process.
No person or location is 100 percent safe. The Public Safety utilizes patrolling
officers to observe and detect crimes and threats on the campus. The Public Safety’s function
is primarily informational and advisory, rather than regulatory. Security personnel are not
police officers and are not empowered as such. The primary protective means used are
restricting campus access and use to only those authorized persons for reasonable and safe
purposes. The inspection and maintenance of locks, doors, windows, lights, and alarms are
coordinated by both Public Safety and the physical plant department.
The security officers patrol all student-parking areas and provide free assistance for
keys locked inside cars and dead battery starts. Public Safety is also responsible for the
enforcement of campus parking and traffic regulations.

SECURITY TIPS
• Always take steps to protect yourself. Using common sense is often your best
protection.
• Don’t carry large amounts of cash. A front pocket is safer for a wallet than a back
one.
• Go with someone. There is safety in numbers.
• Stay away from isolated areas.
• Try to stay near well-lighted areas.
• Don’t take risks. You can never tell if a robber is armed. No amount of money is
worth taking chances with your life.
• Protect your personal property. Lock your door every time you leave. Make a list
of your valuables including serial numbers. Don’t leave your belongings
unattended.
• Lock your vehicle. Put valuables in the trunk.
• Lock your bicycle. Register your bike with campus security.
• Report any suspicious activity to Public Safety immediately. Try to give a
description that includes approximate age, height, and weight and details on hair,
clothing, jewelry, scars, tattoos—anything that is noticeable.
A safe campus is everyone’s responsibility. Do your part to protect yourself
and others.
