Crime Prevention

Welcome to the Rowan University Crime Prevention page. Rowan University's Department of Public Safety is committed to the concept of Crime Prevention. The department employs a full time crime prevention officer, Senior Security Officer Gloria Linn as well as a student staff known as Student Crime Prevention Practitioners.

The Crime Prevention Section's objective is to communicate safety and security concepts throughout the campus community.

Rowan University is committed to the concept of Crime Prevention. A few simple precautions or a bit of knowledge might be the difference in a student or staff member becoming a victim of a crime. Our job is to educate the campus community of these concepts and reinforce them once everyone is educated. We also attempt to locate problem areas or situations, i.e. lighting, unsecured equipment, etc. The University is committed lighting improvements for 1998-1999 school year. These improvements are above and beyond the ones added in the last few years. The campus goal is 4 foot-candles of light average in all parking lots.
