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.

One of the many ways that Elmira College communicates with
students in the event of an emergency is a text message alert
system. This secure messaging system is available to members of the
college community and only used in the case of an emergency. Since
the system relies on text messaging, it will function effectively
even if cell traffic increases during an emergency.
Campus community members may “opt into” the
system, which sends messages to cell phones, PDAs, e-mail addresses
or pagers. No one will receive unsolicited text messages from EC.
The system will not deliver advertising content. There is no cost
to participate, though your service provided may charge normal
texting fees.
The log-in information for registration is your Elmira.edu email
address and your secure password. After log-in, you will be able to
enter your cell phone number and carrier to Opt-In.
