All officers are in continuous radio contact with Safety Central, the 24-hour dispatch center for the campus.

Lawrence Tech. Campus Safety Officers work closely with the Southfield Police, Fire, Life Support (EMS) and Emergency Management Division personnel with the goal of providing a safe campus and well-coordinated effort in the event of an emergency. Lawrence Tech. Campus Safety Officers are trained by the American Red Cross in First Aid, CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and other non- medical topics specific to campus safety.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to be the “eyes and ears” of the Campus Safety Department by reporting crimes, incidents, suspicious persons or events or unusual situations that occur immediately. When in doubt it is better to report these events than to ignore them. In many cases these events may be innocent, however it is always better to error on the side caution.
