Introduction

Dear Campus Member or Guest,

The Annual Security Report (ASR) has been created to provide campus safety information including crime statistics and procedures to follow to report a crime. The ASR describes various programs the university offers pertaining to safety as well as containing statistics regarding crime on campus.

You will see from the ASR, Emporia State University takes the safety of our students and guests very seriously. The statistics that Emporia State University has submitted over the last three years indicate that our campus has an atmosphere of safety. This is due in part to the collaborative efforts of the campus police department and departments such as residence life, student wellness, the student success office as well as the continued training each of these areas provides related to safety.

Still, safety is a shared responsibility and each campus individual must do his/her part to adhere to the safety policies and procedures to ensure campus security. I continue to ask that you all take an active role in the safety of the campus. Please know and make use of any and all resources made available to you. When in doubt, report suspicious behavior and or concerns.

Emporia State University is committed to maintaining an environment in which students, faculty, staff, and guests can work together free from all forms of harassment, exploitation and intimidation.

I hope you find the report helpful and if you have questions or would like more information about safety and security at Emporia State University, please feel free to contact the Vice President for Student Affairs office at 620-341-5267.

Sincerely,

Dr. James E. Williams

Vice President for Student Affairs
