The Department Campus Safety is committed to providing a safe living and learning environment for the the Lakeside Campuses. Our goal is to create a customer friendly environment that focuses on crime prevention and problem solving through awareness and education. By working together as a team, we can create a safer and more secure living and learning environment for all Loyolans.

While we can promise you a committed effort to providing a safe and secure campus, we cannot guarantee a crime free environment. Therefore, it is important that you help us, help you, by taking time to read through the Campus Safety Home Page and familiarize yourself with the safety programs and services we offer. Take advantage of the free shuttle bus and escort services, take a Hot Spots Tour and attend a Crime Prevention seminar. Remember, your safety is as much your responsibility as it is ours, so educate yourself about what you can do to reduce your chances of becoming a victim.

Campus crime is an issue of mounting concern for colleges and universities across the country.

• A bicycle patrol unit, made up of trained and certified officers, has been added to improve security.
• Residence halls have a safety monitor and/or a residence hall monitor at the front entrance or central access points.
• Over 400 one-button emergency telephones are located inside and outside campus buildings and throughout the campus grounds.
• Campus Safety bulletin boards are located in high traffic areas and include the latest crime information.
• Crime alerts are posted online immediately as the information becomes available.
• Safety classes are available upon request by calling 8-2463. Classes include Rape Aggression Defense (RAD), Hot Spots Tours, Sexual Assault Prevention, etc.
