Through Student Orientation Programs, Parent Orientation Programs, services fairs, new employee orientations and department or residence hall presentations, crime prevention staff address thousands of students, parents, and employees on personal safety issues yearly. We respond to special requests from groups of staff members or students and present individualized workshops on topics of particular concern.
We also distribute Public Safety bulletins and conduct office/ building safety surveys.
In 2022 the Department of Public Safety provided over 470 presentations University wide. The topics were Active Shooter, De-escalation, Personal Safety and Intro to DPS Services.
We make available victim assistance support services for a crime against the person. Assistance may begin shortly after a crime is reported and may continue through the often-confusing stages of the criminal justice process.
The University does not assume responsibility for property if it is lost or stolen. To protect your property, record any identifying marks or serial numbers on a list and keep it in a safe place. Items without serial numbers may be engraved with a unique number for identification purposes. We strongly urge you to check your family homeowner’s insurance policy and secure coverage if needed.
