Campus Safety Services is responsible for providing a safe campus environment by: detecting/reporting criminal activity or safety hazards; coordinating police, fire, and emergency medical/first aid including transportation to local hospitals; providing a 24 hour-a-day, year-round on-campus escort service; enforcing parking and traffic regulations on campus; and enforcing state/local ordinances and university regulations within the university’s jurisdiction. The Campus Safety Services office also operates the university’s shuttle and lost and found.
Most full-time Campus Safety Service officers meet the Ohio Peace Officers Training Council standards, as prescribed by the Ohio Attorney General, and have arrest powers.
The Safety Services staff provides patrols 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Service from the department can be requested directly or by calling 216-397-4600. Calls on campus can be directed from courtesy phones, office or room phones simply by dialing 4600. Also, the residence life staff (area coordinators or RAs) can assist in contacting the department.
Campus Safety Services maintains a good working relationship with the City of University Heights Police and Fire Departments, which are prompt in responding to calls for assistance.
Crime and campus safety are concerns of the entire university community. Campus Safety Services alone cannot address these problems and the department strives to obtain active cooperation and assistance from all members of the university community.
Members of the university community are expected to act in a safety-conscious manner to maintain their safety as well as the safety of others. All criminal matters, emergencies, or suspicious person(s) should be reported promptly, any time of the day, to the department at 216-397-4600.
The department maintains a gate house at the South Belvoir campus entrance which is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is the central radio dispatch. The department also maintains a gate house at the Carroll campus entrance which is staffed Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. during the school year. The phone number of the Carroll guard house is 216-397-4610.
