Safe, healthy, and prepared

Indiana University has more than 90,000 students and 21,000 employees who work, live, and study on its nearly 8,000 acres of land across the state.

 Being prepared for emergencies, reducing crime, and making sure our food, water, and facilities are safe are only a few things that Indiana University Public Safety is responsible for.

We created Protect IU to help you understand more about what we do, get connected with our alert system, find out about the programs, trainings, and services we offer on your campus, and learn a few things about how to keep yourself and those around you safer.
