The safety of our community depends on each of us looking out for one another. When needed, we must also feel comfortable calling upon our dedicated police officers and our many trained campus professionals who provide educational programming, basic health care services, and mental health counseling throughout the year.
Whether you are using one of our emergency telephones to call for an escort across campus, to request an unexpected jump-start for a car, or to report a student in distress, I urge you to utilize the outstanding resources available to you as a member of the Monmouth University community.
Our police department works in close cooperation with neighboring jurisdictions and members of our Residential Life team, who also offer immediate coverage and counseling for safety and quality-of-life concerns 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A synopsis of our annual reporting for the Clery Act, a federally mandated assessment required of all higher education institutions, provides a broad overview of campus policies and regulations aimed at securing a safe campus that fosters learning and inquiry outside the classroom.
The synopsis also includes a summary of the types of criminal activity on campus during the previous reporting period, and valuable information to ensure personal safety.
Campus security is not a function solely of our police department; it is a responsibility that we all share. I appreciate efforts of so many who ensure that Monmouth University is a safe and secure campus where we can learn and grow together.
