The Mission of the Department of Campus Safety is to enhance the quality of life for the entire College Community and the immediate surrounding area by maintaining a secure environment, where the safety of all is balanced with the rights of the individual. Sarah Lawrence Campus Safety Staff adhere to a Campus Community Engagement Philosophy, where our Campus Safety Officers are expected to have positive interactions with our community daily, to enhance the quality of life of the entire college community and its immediate surrounding area by maintaining a safe environment in an all hazards approach in responding to Security, Fire, Emergency Medical and Service calls. The Department strives to accomplish its mission while adhering to its core values of Service, Courtesy and Respect. The success of this mission depends upon an effective working relationship between Campus Safety Officers and the diverse population of Sarah Lawrence College Community, including students, staff, faculty, visitors and surrounding community. Critical to this relationship is mutual respect. Therefore, we pledge to respect the diverse needs and interests of the community we serve while being vigilant in the protection of both persons and property. In return, we ask that our partners in the community assume their individual and collective responsibilities to make Sarah Lawrence College a Safe Campus with the goal of providing a safe haven that fosters an oasis for learning.
