Mission

The Aquinas College Department of Campus Safety exists to provide leadership to the Aquinas College Community in striving for a safe and secure environment in which all community members can live, learn and work.

With a community service approach, the Department strives to identify and institute programs, methods, and approaches that will enhance the protection of persons and property, the prevention of crime, and the enforcement of College policy. A truly safe campus can only be achieved through the cooperative efforts of all students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders.

By coordinating the College's efforts in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies, the Campus Safety Department can achieve its commitment to the community to serve, protect and assist.

Location and Contact Information

The Department of Campus Safety is located in the Campus Safety Building on the west end of the Wege Lot (lot 10). The Department is open and provides protection and services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  E-mail us, call us, or visit the office in person!

Community members should report all on-campus emergencies to the Campus Safety Office as soon as possible.  To report an on-campus emergency from a campus phone, simply dial x3333 to be connected to our emergency line.  Campus emergency phones connect to Campus Safety automatically upon activation and can be used to request non-emergency assistance such as an escort or admittance should you be unable to contact our office via a mobile phone, courtesy phone, or office phone.
