About Campus Safety
Mission
The Department of Campus Safety's mission is to provide a safe and secure learning and working environment for the university community and to protect the assets of Azusa Pacific University.
The department provides extensive campus patrolling and educational programs for the university community to reduce crime. These proactive measures promote community involvement in the protection of facilities and the people who visit, reside, study, or work at Azusa Pacific University.
Philosophy
Although the enforcement of state and federal law is the exclusive duty of the Department of Campus Safety, there should be guidance as to how staff members conduct their daily duties. The characteristics that every employee, when in contact with APU community members and the general public, should reflect are courtesy, fairness, friendliness, and a service-oriented mentality.
