Campus Safety
Safety First!
At Trine our job is to provide you with the opportunity to receive a quality education. Our top priority is to keep you safe and protect your life and property. We take pride and great responsibility in doing so. By pro-actively engaging in activities that promote security awareness and crime prevention, we strive to be a safe place to learn, work and live.
Campus Safety encompasses campus protection including first aid, CPR, and emergency response procedures. Our officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They are equipped with radios and cell phones, and have immediate communication with students and local emergency services.
Campus safety has also incorporated a mass notification system that alerts students and staff to campus emergencies. Campus Safety is an extension of the Office of Student Affairs.

The federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and other federal law requires colleges and universities to publish and distribute an annual security and fire safety report containing policies and procedures as well as campus crime statistics.
At Trine, we believe in a zero tolerance policy for sexual misconduct. Members of our community, guests and visitors have the right to be free from sexual violence. All members of the community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. Our University Sexual Misconduct/Sexual Assault Policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for the individuals whose rights have been violated.

The mission of Trine University Safety Team is to provide a safe and secure learning, living, and working environment while protecting the University's valuable assets.
Safety Philosophy
Trine Safety staff acts as facilitator to those in need, helping them to understand and comply with the University's rules, policies and directives. This is achieved through patience, understanding, and guidance, offered in a firm, fair, and respectful manner.
