Campus Safety

The EKU Police Department would like parents and family members to be aware of the University emergency phone number. The number is 911 and can be dialed from any campus telephone. There are also a number of call boxes located on campus with direct access to the University Police. Many have blue lights on top to make them more visible. If your family member experiences theft or other crimes, it is important that they contact EKU staff or the University Police immediately.

University Police provide 24- hour patrol of the EKU campus buildings, parking lots, residence hall exteriors, and campus grounds. Patrol is by motor vehicle, bicycle, and on foot. There are 26 sworn police officers who have full law enforcement authority on all University property, and concurrent jurisdiction on all roads and streets adjacent to the campus. They also have the authority to investigate crimes committed on University property anywhere in the state.
