Welcome - Lehigh University Campus Safety Division

Lehigh University’s Campus Safety Division provides an integrated approach to crime prevention, emergency preparedness, crisis response, and communication.
Campus Safety Division Vision Statement
We believe that every individual deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential in a community built on trust. We envision a campus where a culture of safety, health, and well-being thrives.
We embrace the One-by-One approach: a philosophy rooted in the belief that trust is earned one person, one conversation, and one interaction at a time. Through consistent care, professionalism, and active engagement, we strengthen our connection to the Lehigh community and foster an environment where every individual feels safe, valued, and supported.
Together, we cultivate a secure, inclusive, and vibrant campus--supporting Lehigh's mission to advance learning through teaching, research, and service to others.
