Presently, there are 26 officers. Director of Public Safety Chief John C. McAuliffe has been chief for the past six years. According to federal Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act, campus crime is on the decline. We have a very aggressive, affirmative approach to crime prevention, McAuliffe said. Campus is actively patrolled with officers in patrol cars all year long.
Officers are available for help from the time classes start to when the last classes end.
They can be contacted by dialing 911 on any campus phone or on any blue light phone seen around campus. This service is not intended as an optional form of transportation. EMU offers many programs concerning crime prevention and awareness, such as Vehicle Glass Etching, Operation U.V.I.D., Bike Lock Lease Program, Area Police Officer Program, Bicycle Patrol Program, Campus Beautification and RAD System. Classes are offered free of charge or academically for one hour of credit.
