Law Enforcement On Campus
Campus Safety & Security Officers are on duty 24 hours per day,
365 days a year. When you call Campus Safety & Security to report an incident,
a communications dispatcher will receive your call, collect
the pertinent information, and send an officer to the scene.
The responding officer will conduct an initial investigation
and document the incident. If you are the victim of a crime,
the officer will assist in directing you to police service.
The Campus Safety & Security Department’s response may also include a follow-up
investigation or referral to other victim assistance and crime
prevention services. Referral to an appropriate University
department may also be made if it is deemed that any administrative
action is necessary.
Safety Officers seek to maintain a safe and secure environment throughout the University. They enforce rules and
regulations, patrol campus grounds, respond to emergencies,
provide routine and specialized security service, respond to
accidents, and facilitate the use of community emergency
services as required. While Safety Officers are not certified law
enforcement officers with arrest powers, they do receive regular
training in various aspects of campus safety and are licensed or
registered with the State of Florida. Officers also meet with the
Daytona Beach Police Department. The Life Safety Systems
Officer has received professional training from the State Fire
Academy and the National Fire Protection Association. He has completed the fire inspector course at Florida State Fire College. The Campus Safety & Security Department works
closely with the Daytona Beach Police Department and the
Daytona Beach International Airport security personnel, and will
notify the appropriate law enforcement agency on related cases
and in emergency situations.
The Safety and Security Department does not maintain formal written agreements with other law enforcement agencies for the investigation of alleged crimes. The campus is located within the jurisdiction of the Daytona Beach Police Department and we encourage all individuals to report crimes to that agency as well as Campus Safety & Security.
Security and Access
to University Facilities
Embry-Riddle maintains an open campus environment and
encourages the community to participate in activities that are open
to the public. While the University maintains an open campus, it is
also private property; therefore, the University reserves the right
to restrict unauthorized persons from its grounds when appropriate.
To promote personal safety and the protection of property,
most University facilities are locked and alarmed after business
hours according to established schedules set by Safety and the department
which controls the location.
Entry into a secured area after hours
requires written approval from the controlling department head and
notification to the Campus Safety & Security Department. Students, faculty and staff
should carry their University identification cards with them at all
times.
Residential areas of all University housing facilities
are restricted to residents and invited guests. Guests who do not
live in University housing must be escorted by a resident of that
building at all times. Main lobby doors are unlocked from 7 a.m.
until 7 p.m. Other exterior doors in Doolittle Hall, Apollo Hall and the Student Village
complex are locked or card accessible 24 hours a day. Desk personnel
and Campus Safety & Security are electronically alerted if exterior doors are propped
open. All residents are encouraged to keep their room doors and windows
locked at all times.
Desk security personnel are on duty from 7 p.m. to
1 a.m. during the week and 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. on weekends in the Student Village, Doolittle Hall and Apollo Hall. Besides regular Campus Safety & Security Department
patrols, there are three officers dedicated solely to residence halls
and residence hall parking lot patrol.
The University is committed to providing a safe and secure environment
throughout its facilities. The campus is patrolled by Campus Safety & Security Officers
on a regular basis, and officers work closely with the Faciliities Management Department in maintaining the physical security of the University.
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to report lock problems,
lighting problems, security concerns, unauthorized persons, or
suspicious conditions to the Campus Safety & Security Department at 386-226-6480 as
soon as possible.

the use, possession, and/or sale of illicit drugs, and towards those
