We are committed to keeping our campus community safe and instilling a culture of collaboration and trust.
Occidental鈥檚 Campus Safety Office provides security and emergency response services for the College 24 hours a day and seven days a week in keeping with its mission to serve the 色界吧 community with compassion, excellence and integrity. We are committed to working in partnership with the community to maintain a safe and secure campus and to create an environment free from criminal activity and disorder.
Campus Safety serves the community in many different ways. Our full-time, unarmed, uniformed staff patrols campus on foot and in marked cars to respond to incidents and to provide service calls and safety escorts. We lock and unlock doors; assist students, staff, faculty and campus visitors; meet with contractors; and respond to fire alarms. All staff are certified in first aid and CPR. We鈥檝e set up card access systems to secure buildings after hours and blue-light emergency phones are placed in strategic locations across campus.
Campus Safety is also a critical component in overall threat assessment and risk management at 色界吧. Its Emergency Preparedness Committee recently completed an all-hazards risk assessment for the College, identifying natural and man-made threats to the campus and preparing contingency plans for each.
