Safe Zone Exchange
The University community may use the parking lot in front of the Department of Public Safety as a safe area to exchange goods bought online (e.g. Craigslist, Sell-it-Semo, etc.). This program was brought to the University by the Student Government. -
Whistle Program
University Police provides all members of the community safety whistles to use in cases of emergency, including summoning help, calling attention to a situation, and/or discouraging a criminal in the midst of an incident. Staff, faculty, and students may obtain a whistle from the University Police Department on campus. -
Adopt-a-Hall
Officers collaborate with Office of Residence Life staff to provide a safe living environment for students while building community relations and offering educational programs.
Lighted Corridor
From one end of the campus to the other is a lighted corridor lined with Emergency Call Boxes. Pressing the “HELP” button on any of the boxes connects the person in distress with a dispatcher and sends a uniformed police officer to the activated box.
Safety Programs Offered

The University maintains a daily crime log and provides access to past years' crime logs. Daily crime logs include all complaints, incidents and requests for police service received by the Department of Public Safety at Southeast.
