From The Director
The vision of the Newark Campus Public Safety Department is to provide a safe and secure campus that demonstrates openness, trust, honesty and integrity and respects differences in ideas, cultures, and lifestyles.
These same qualities will be reflected in the Department's leadership, personnel, programs and services, and its image, both on and off campus.
The Newark Campus is committed to providing a safe environment for students, faculty, staff, and guests of the Campus. We continually evaluate existing programs and look for new ways to maintain and improve campus security. While we attempt to provide the most secure surroundings possible, all students, employees and visitors must take responsibility for their own personal safety when visiting the campus.
The vast majority of crimes committed on our property are crimes against property, not people. Often, the thief simply walks off with unsecured property. Don't leave personal items unattended. We need your cooperation and assistance to accomplish this task. As a first step, take the time to examine the information in this brochure or web page. Review the information carefully and take advantage of the many safety programs offered by the campus.
As a campus, we will do our best to provide you with a safe learning and living environment; however we need your help. Let's work together to make the Newark Campus "Safe for All."
