Welcome to the 2022–2023 academic year at Monmouth University! In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), I am pleased to provide you with this Guide for a Safe Campus.
The information contained in this publication provides crime statistics, which are regularly reported by Monmouth University to various local, state, and federal agencies. It also provides the University’s drug and alcohol policies and emergency management policies, as well as valuable safety tips and other University-specific information.
This publication is available online at monmouth.edu/mupd/SafeCampus/. The University Police Department is an around-the-clock agency serving the needs of the University community every day of the year.
For emergencies and/or general assistance, please dial ext. 4444 from on-campus telephones and 732-571-4444 from cell phones or off-campus locations. You may also dial 911 in the event of an emergency, or use one of approximately 100 emergency telephones located throughout the campus. By simply lifting the telephone receiver, you will be connected directly to the police department. Please be advised that there are several emergency telephones on campus designed without receivers. These telephones are located primarily in parking lots. To use this type of phone, simply press the emergency button, and you will immediately be connected to the police department. The University Police Department also has a 24-hour confidential hotline that can be reached at 732-263-5222 and offers an escort service as described on page 8.
If you have questions regarding this publication, or if I may assist you in any way, please feel free to contact me at 732-571-4444.
