The University's crime prevention philosophy is one of eliminating or minimizing criminal opportunities whenever possible, and encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their own safety and security.

The concept of Crime Prevention is a philosophy based upon the belief that crime rates can be curbed by the actions of a dedicated, informed and united community.
