Campus Safety Services (CSS)
Campus Safety Services was established as a police department under the Ohio Revised Code (ORC 1713.50) by the Board of Directors of John Carroll University.  This designation gives officers the same legal authority as any municipal police officer or deputy sheriff.  Campus Safety Services provides a safe and secure environment for all members of the university community.  Officers work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, monitoring the campus, promoting safety, and encouraging personal responsibility for safety.
The CSS office is located on the lower level of the Lombardo Student Center, in Room 14.  The Belvoir Gate House is staffed 24 hours a day.   CSS can be reached by calling extension 4600 from any campus phone or (216) 397-4600 from off-campus.  Courtesy phones are located inside buildings throughout campus.
In addition to safety patrols and building checks, CSS officers also answer calls for service, provide escorts upon request, check alarms, and investigate suspicious situations.  CSS follows up on reports and takes action as appropriate, including making referrals to the Dean of Students or pursuing criminal charges through the courts.  CSS officers work in conjunction with residence life staff, the university administration, and local police to seek compliance with and enforce John Carroll policies, local ordinances, and state law.
CSS is responsible for parking management, too.  Parking on the campus is by permit only.  Freshman and most sophomore resident students are not permitted to have cars on campus.  Student permits are sold at the beginning of each semester.  Daily permits are sold in the CSS office.  Vehicles without a permit or improperly parked are subject to ticketing and may be towed by CSS at the owner’s expense.
