In addition to the student operated transit system, the ECU Police Student Patrol provides safety shuttles for the students and staff. This service offers safety and reassurance to students and staff walking between campus facilities during the evening hours. Officers work with Housing and Residence Life in each of the 15 residence halls to serve as a resource to students. The crime prevention officer and the information systems coordinator are responsible for implementation, training, maintenance and purchasing of all security systems. These programs, along with the very visible bicycle patrol, foot patrol, and vehicle patrol on campus, open the lines of communication between students and the department.
Strong communication is an integral part of the community policing philosophy.
By taking a proactive approach to crime prevention education, involvement, and visibility on campus, the ECU Police Department has made great strides in its efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
