Message from the Chief of Safety and Security
As the Chief of the Department of Safety and Security, I am honored to present to you the Annual Clery Act Security Report (ASR) for the year 2024.
This report reflects our unwavering dedication to ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of everyone who calls ڰ home. Our commitment to Service, Integrity, Inclusion, Professionalism, Respect, and Accountability is evident in every facet of the report, as it resonates with the University’s Mission and Core Values.
The Clery ASR serves as a beacon of transparency, ensuring that current and prospective students, staff, and faculty are informed about the safety measures in place, the resources available, and the nature and frequency of incidents that have occurred on campus. By making this information accessible, we empower every member of the ڰ community to make informed decisions about their safety.
We've always believed in the strength of our community. Our proactive approach to safety, combined with the tradition of Cura Personalis, has made ڰ a place where everyone collaborates in fostering a secure environment. The robust dialogue between our department and the broader university community is a testament to this mutual trust and cooperation.
I encourage each one of you to read the report, understand its implications, and become active participants in our shared goal of maintaining a safe campus environment. Remember, safety is not the sole responsibility of a department; it's a collective effort, and each individual's awareness and action make a significant difference.
Serving ڰ and the wider Campus Community is both an honor and a privilege. Please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Safety and Security if you have questions or need further information about the report or our safety measures.
Sincerely,
Chief Leonard Patterson
