campus safety
University patrol services
Campus safety refers to the personnel, policies, and infrastructure protecting students and staff at colleges and universities.
Campus safety officers patrol grounds, respond to emergencies, and enforce institutional rules—though their authority varies from sworn police to unarmed security guards.
The term also covers broader efforts: emergency alert systems, escort services, and sexual assault prevention programs.
