Civil defense and emergency preparedness coordination. Emergency medical assistance on a basic life-support level. While the Campus Police is responsible for providing protective services to reasonably safeguard institution facilities and assets, each individual department and employee is also directly responsible for taking reasonable care and precautions with those facilities and assets assigned to them. Security is everybody's business. The crime rate on campus could be significantly decreased if each person would take the time to properly secure personal and University property, to lock rooms and buildings when leaving, to always lock their car and take the keys, to observe and report suspicious persons or activities and never to leave valuables unattended or unsecured.
Cooperation is necessary to be successful in the prevention of crime.
