Do be friendly with the officers when you see them around campus. They’re really nice people who are here to ensure our safety.
Do take advantage of all Public Safety has to offer. Students get locked out of thier living spaces everyday, often after the Community Living and Development Center has already closed. Luckily, the officers of Public Safety are always there to let us back in. But their services don’t end there. When we have car troubles, Public Safety is always there to help. If you ever have any kind of problem, the Public Safety officers are always more than willing to help.
Don't misuse the services of Public Safety. Specifically, they are not there to escort you everywhere (for that you should call Safe Ride). However, if you truly feel unsafe, don’t hesitate to call an officer.
Don't be scared to call if you or the person who needs help is under 21 — or if the emergency is drug or alcohol related. The main goal of Public Safety is not to get you in trouble; it is to ensure the safety of the students. It’d be smart to save Public Safety as a contact in your phone. The number is 765-658-5555. You can also reach them in their office in the lower level of 101 East Seminary St.
Do call 911 in case of fire or other serious emergency. Public Safety often works together with the Greencastle Police Department.
Don't run away when you see the Public Safety vehicle approaching. Let’s be real, that looks suspicious. If you get caught doing something you aren’t supposed to be doing, for instance, sitting in a bush while completely intoxicated, don’t run. The officers are resasonable and will figure out how to best solve the situation.
