Department of Campus Safety

CRIME AWARENESS AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS

The Department of Campus Safety is committed to fostering a safe campus environment by encouraging all members of the university community to be vigilant and proactive. The following services and programs are provided to help educate and inform community members about crime awareness and prevention:

“See Something, Say Something” Initiative

The Department of Campus Safety encourages all members of the campus community to be observant and report any suspicious activity. If you witness something that seems out of place, it is important to report it immediately. This helps create a proactive, watchful community that works together to prevent crime.

Rape Awareness Programs

Franklin Pierce University provides educational programs related to rape awareness and prevention. These programs are conducted by Residence Life staff and other campus partners, and are designed to raise awareness about sexual assault, educate about consent, and provide students with information on how to support survivors.

Drug and Alcohol Awareness Programs

The university partners with local organizations and non-profits to provide drug and alcohol awareness education. These programs are designed to inform students about the risks associated with substance use and promote responsible decision-making.

Residence Life Training

While Campus Safety does not provide training for Residence Life staff, the Department works closely with Residence Life to ensure that they receive appropriate training. Residence Life staff undergoes in-house training, which includes topics such as crisis management, conflict resolution, and alcohol and drug awareness. Campus Safety shares relevant information and collaborates with Residence Life to ensure staff are equipped to respond to emergencies effectively.

Crime Alerts

In the event of a crime or significant safety concern, Franklin Pierce University issues FP Alerts to the campus community. These alerts are sent out via text, email, and are posted in areas that may be affected. FP Alerts are used to notify students, faculty, and staff of any immediate threats or safety concerns and provide important information to help maintain campus safety.
