Campus Safety
Campus Safety Overview
Campus Safety officers and dispatchers are responsible for a full range of safety services to the Lewis & Clark community, including all crime report investigations, medical emergencies, fire emergencies, traffic accidents, and enforcements of all College policies including those relating to alcohol use, drug use, and weapons possession.
Campus Safety officers submit incident reports on all crimes on campus reported to the department. These incident reports are filed with the Portland Police Bureau and automatically become part of its record-keeping process. All serial numbers of vehicles and office equipment stolen from campus are reported through the Portland Police Bureau to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC.)
All criminal activity, suspicious activity, and other emergencies on campus should be reported directly to the Office of Campus Safety by any member or guest of the Lewis & Clark community. Please dial extension 7777 for all emergency or service calls, 24-hours a day or from off-campus dial 503-768-7777. Campus Safety officers will meet you anywhere on campus to investigate and inquire about any of these events. Please dial extension 7855 for all non-emergency business calls 24-hours a day or from off-campus dial 503-768-7855.
