ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Campus Safety is authorized by Whittier College to protect the campus community and campus property and strives to make the campus safe for all Whittier students and employees. Additionally, the department has oversight for all campus parking operations.

Campus Safety patrols the campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officers are fully trained to perform many police functions on property owned and operated by the College, such as answering crime calls, calls for service and emergencies, securing buildings, registering bicycles and vehicles, performing campus safety inspections, providing escort service, instituting campus watch programs and operation identification, controlling crowds at major events, enforcing traffic and parking regulations, providing educational programs and self-defense workshops.

The staff of Campus Safety is deeply concerned with the security and well-being of all students. Because unlawful activities may occur on College property, students who are stopped by a campus safety officer are required to present proper identification and follow any instructions given by the officer. Students who see anyone or anything that is even slightly suspicious are encouraged to call the dispatcher for assistance or information. Students’ cooperation and assistance is essential to Campus Safety, in order to maintain a safe and secure campus community.
