STUDENT WELLNESS
Personal Safety
Making sure that students are safe is a primary focus of the University. Purdue makes every effort to provide a safe environment. A college campus is a reflection of our society, where crimes do occur. Student awareness and common sense are the best means of preventing crime or injury.
To ensure the safety of our students on campus, the Purdue University Police Department provides the following services to students on campus:
- Annual Security Report: The University prepares an annual security report as part of the Cleary Law. The report contains statistics and information relating to campus safety, security policies, and other important information, and is available at www.police.purdue.edu. Copies of the report are available by calling the Purdue Police Department records section at (765) 494-8221.
- Emergency Telephones: Emergency telephones are available at more than 200 campus locations. They connect directly to the police department. From any regular telephone, call 911 to report emergencies.
- Purdue Student Security Patrol: This patrol consists of trained students who assist the police in patrolling the campus at night. Their high visibility serves as a deterrent to crimes on campus.
- Safe-Walk program: The Student Security Patrol also staffs the Safe-Walk program at (765) 494-SAFE. This service is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to and from University Residences, the academic campus, and the Village Business District. This program is available all year including fall, spring, and summer sessions.
- Marking personal possessions: Engraving tools for marking personal possessions are available in University Residences and from the University Police. Both students and parents are encouraged to make a list, with serial numbers, of the student's belongings as an extra precaution.
