Campus Safety

High-Level Security, All the Time

The University of Saint Francis works tirelessly to provide a safe and secure campus for all members of its community. Saint Francis’ Security Department is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (including all breaks and holidays). The staff’s primary responsibility is to protect the university’s people and property.

They do so by:

• Patrolling the buildings and grounds (by vehicle and on foot)
• Monitoring safety systems
• Providing a timely response to requests for assistance, including
  • Medical emergencies
  • Escorts across campus
  • Access to buildings
  • Reports of suspicious persons or unsafe conditions
