Lincoln University's Department of Public Safety works closely with the Jefferson City Police Department, Cole County Sheriff's Office and the Missouri Highway Patrol. Criminal investigations are conducted on a joint basis with local law enforcement agencies when crimes overlap jurisdictional boundaries. All administrative buildings and classrooms are secured each evening after normal business hours and after classroom instruction is completed. Entry to administrative instructional classrooms after normal hours requires authorized key access or access granted by the Department of Public Safety. Residence hall security is enhanced by having controlled access to all buildings.
Residents are able to enter their residence hall by using an entrance key.
The buildings are secured 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to allow only residents of the hall, their escorted guests, and authorized personnel to enter. Residence hall keys may not be duplicated, transferred or given to any other individual. The publication is designed to inform and educate the Lincoln family on security and safety issues. Articles are written to help individuals identify problems and offer solutions for their correction. Rape prevention, crime prevention, fire safety, etc., briefings and training sessions are offered on a continuing basis.
