A message from the Associate Vice President and Superintendent of Public Safety

Dear Indiana University Community,

We are pleased to present the Annual Security Report, which provides comprehensive details about public safety at each of our campuses and educational centers. The report highlights our community engagement and crime prevention efforts designed to minimize crime, the frequency of evacuation drills, and other initiatives to protect IU’s most valuable assets—our students, faculty, and staff.  

Our dedicated police, emergency management staff, and our partners work tirelessly around the clock to ensure a safe environment for teaching, learning, and enjoying cultural and athletic activities at our campuses. The Annual Security Report and Protect IU website offer information and resources to help our communities understand safety risks, report crimes, and to learn how to prevent, prepare for, or respond to various emergencies, including tornadoes, active aggressor incidents, and illnesses.  

We encourage you to read the report, which is available year-round at the bottom of every webpage on Protect IU. Our commitment to transparency and collaboration means we are always here to address any questions or concerns.  

Additionally, we ask for your support in our efforts by reporting suspicious activities to your campus IUPD division and looking out for your friends and colleagues. Please don’t hesitate to contact your IUPD division or call 911 for help. 

Together, we can create a safe and secure environment for everyone at Indiana University.

Sincerely,
