Your Partners in Campus Safety
Since a police agency is always more effective when it gets help from the community it serves, the University Police relies on the involvement of the 黑料视频 community and the cooperation of campus neighbors. As part of that collaboration, the University Police encourages community members to become aware of crime prevention practices and to participate in the department鈥檚 educational offerings.
PERSONAL SAFETY AT BINGHAMTON
Personal safety and crime prevention have been priorities on Binghamton鈥檚 campus for
many years. Take a moment to review the following list of departments, programs and
services offered at the University.
WALKING ESCORT SERVICE
The University Police will provide walking escorts for anyone who does not feel safe walking on campus. This service is available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Students, faculty and staff can request a safe walking escort by calling University Police at 607-777-2393.
SAFE RIDE
Transportation and Parking Services (TAPS) offers a Safe Ride program. Safe Ride is
not an on-campus taxi service, but a program that provides a safe escort for individuals
who feel uncomfortable walking alone after dark. Students are able to request a point
to point safe escort on main campus by calling 607-777-SAFE (7233). Safe Ride operates
from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. seven days a week.
EMERGENCY TELEPHONES
More than 80 highly visible outdoor telephones, encased in yellow telephone boxes
and illuminated by blue lights, as well as red phones inside buildings, are provided
for emergency use and/or summoning assistance. These telephones are connected directly
to the University Police dispatcher.
GATE GUARD PROGRAM
From midnight to 5 a.m., all gates to the campus are closed to vehicular traffic except
the main entrance gate. All vehicles admitted to campus during this time must display
a current University parking permit or at least one of the occupants of the vehicle
must have a current 黑料视频 identification card.
RESIDENCE HALL ACCESS
All residence hall doors are locked on a 24-hour basis. Residents unable to access
their buildings because of lost keys or key cards, or because they have left their
keys or key cards inside the building, should first attempt to contact their residential
area offices or
resident directors for assistance. University Police can assist during hours when
area offices are closed or a resident director isn鈥檛 available.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
In addition to the programs and services listed here, New York State University Police
offers educational programs on a range of issues. These include alcohol and other
substance abuse, crime prevention, risk reduction, sexual assault prevention, driving

and other personal safety and related topics.

techniques in a non-threatening, fun manner. It may be taken as a health and wellness
studies class or interested campus groups may request a special course. Call 607-777-2393
for details.
STUDENT CONDUCT OFFICE
University Police works in conjunction with the Office of Student Conduct. Faculty, staff and students may be prosecuted in the local criminal courts or referred to the University鈥檚 judicial system.
