In an effort to educate the Emerson Community to the safety and security realities that accompany life in a large city, the Department of Public Safety provides opportunities for all members of the community to learn what precautions are likely to help them from becoming victims of crime.
Officers conduct workshops to provide awareness of the problem of crime.
These programs are scheduled during orientation periods. New employees are briefed on crime prevention during their orientation. Programs on specific topics such as Sexual Assault or Crisis Intervention are always conducted in consultation with the campus medical and counseling personnel. In the event the College does not have personnel with specific expertise on a given subject, arrangements are made to bring in experts from the outside to assist in the presentation. This service provides mobile escorts to insure the safety and security of the students.
