Campus Security

Crime on Campus

Any known or observed crime should be reported to the Switchboard operator or to Campus Safety staff as soon as possible. Asbury University promotes a “See Something Say Something” philosophy on campus in alignment with the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to keep communities safe. Students, employees, and visitors should report incidents which are concerning to the University Switchboard at (859) 858-3511, extension 0 so Campus Safety can respond to the incident. 

In any emergency a person should dial 911 to reach Jessamine County 911. After speaking with the 911 dispatcher, the University Switchboard should also be called so Campus Safety staff may begin rendering  assistance and provide support for first responders arriving on campus.

All theft or vandalism complaints in the residence halls must be reported at once to the appropriate Resident Assistant (RA), Resident Director (RD), or the University Switchboard. Each resident has the responsibility for safeguarding possessions by locking residence hall rooms, and documenting the make, model, and serial numbers of personal possessions.
