Campus Security

Elmira College is located in a small town setting, away from many of the security concerns associated with a big city. However, it is necessary to provide for a safe campus and enable the college community to enjoy the college’s resources and support its achievements. To enable this, the college provides professional, trained officers and student escorts.

The Director of Campus Security, who is available 24-7, is assisted by five full-time and three part-time certified security officers. The department is a non-deputized, unarmed service available to all members of the college community. The motto set forth by the Director of Campus Security is "preserve, protect, and defend" students, administrators, faculty and staff throughout the year.

Campus Security personnel are available at all times in the event of an emergency or for assistance, including at night for an escort between campus buildings.

In addition, the Security Department offers several campus safety programs such as Operation I.D., Operation Key Tag, and Operation Campus Watch. These programs are free and are designed to protect the student and their property.
