Safety and Security Mission
The philosophy of the St. Lawrence University Safety & Security Department is to provide a safe and secure environment for the entire University community. The Safety & Security Department offers a wide variety of services to assist students, staff and faculty members in their day to day living. All services are widely publicized. We asked that all students, staff, and faculty members familiarize themselves with the handbook and all the services provided by this department. The first step in a successful security & safety program is public awareness.
General Information

The Safety & Security Department consists of 7 full time security officers, 1 part time security officer, 1 full time dispatcher, and a strong representation of student staff on our Student Safety Team and SLU EMS Team. The Department administration consists of a Director/Chief also known as the University Proctor and one Assistant Director. The Safety & Security Department is charged with the responsibility of enforcing all University rules and regulations as well as State and Federal Laws. During their patrols, officers constantly monitor and evaluate campus security and safety. They routinely identify and report such problems as broken locks, windows, lighting in need of repair and overgrown shrubbery. In addition, they immediately address problems considered to be a threat or hazard.
The Safety and Security Department is always available to make presentations to student groups, clubs and organizations (which includes Greek Houses and Theme Cottages). These presentations often include but are not limited to personal safety issues.
