Campus Safety and Police

Campus safety is maintained by North Carolina Certified Law Enforcement Officers and by professional security staff with student support working under the direct supervision of the Director of Campus Safety and Police. The system works in close cooperation with the Town of Elon Police, Fire Departments and the staff of the Division of Student Life.

Campus safety is a partnership between the university, its students, faculty, staff and guests. Students, faculty, staff and guests are encouraged to practice sound safety practices. In turn, the university attempts to provide facilities and services that optimize safety and security.

The Office of Campus Safety and Police provides an escort service 24 hours a day. Students on campus call extension 5555 for this service; those off-campus who need an escort upon returning to campus should dial 278-5555.

In accordance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, as amended in 2000, complete information regarding campus security policies and programs and campus crime statistics is available upon request from the Director of Public Information, 2600 Campus Box.
