Let’s be clear: the Notre Dame campus is an extremely safe place to live and study.  Our office of campus security has your safety top of mind with constant foot and vehicle patrols 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  A truly safe campus, however, can be achieved only through cooperation of all students, faculty and staff and the responsible decisions they make every day.

There’s a lot you can do yourself to make our campus even safer, if only by using common sense:

• Report any suspicious behavior or criminal activity to Campus Security right away by dialing extension 6666 on campus.  Not an emergency?  Call 410-435-0100 or dial 5360 from a College phone.
• Take responsibility for your safety; walk in pairs at night.
• Keep your residence hall room door locked at all times.
• Keep all valuables out of sight in your car.
• Report any unescorted strangers, male or female.
• Do not prop open any exterior doors.
• Know the campus location of the Blue Light Emergency Notification System
• Pay attention to Campus Security bulletins and updates.
