The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD), along with many other IU departments, uses a variety of media and programs to provide information about crime prevention and to publicize campus security procedures and practices to students, faculty, staff, and guests. The common theme among all of these programs is to encourage community
members to be responsible for their own security and for the security of others.
Campus security and fire safety procedures are specifically discussed during new student orientation. In addition, representatives from IUPD, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), and the Office of Emergency Management and Continuity (EMC) participate in forums, engage in town hall meetings, and are available by request to address student and employee questions and to explain university security, public safety, and fire safety measures. Members of IUPD conduct presentations about crime prevention and general security and safety awareness upon request. Information typically provided includes crime prevention tips; statistics on crime at IU; fire safety information; information about campus security procedures and practices; and encouragement to all community members to be responsible for their own security and for the security of others. IU Public Safety and IUPD also organize and set up an opportunity to hand out safety-related information, as well as answer individual questions. IU Public Safety will also work with campus units and divisions to establish educational programs related to the Clery Act and to promote safety awareness.
