Campus Security


The mission of TU Campus Security is to provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors. TU Security strives to achieve this mission through a community friendly approach that enhances safety through the visibility of security personnel, preventive patrols, 24-hour accessibility, positive conflict resolution, and crime prevention and awareness programs. TU Security collaborates with local law enforcement as necessary.

Campus Security employs a full-time force of 20 security officers. Campus security works closely with the Tulsa Police Department and other law enforcement agencies as necessary.

Officers conduct foot and vehicular patrols of the campus and residence hall areas 24 hours a day.

Potential criminal actions and other emergencies on campus can be reported by any student, faculty member, or employee of the University by dialing campus extension 5555 anytime of the day.

Calls to the Tulsa police via the enhanced emergency 911 system are also monitored by campus security who will respond. Upon receipt of a call, campus security is dispatched immediately to the site of the complaint and takes the appropriate action or contacts the proper agency.

Campus security offers a free escort service for persons who must move around campus alone at night. This service also is extended to those persons with permanent or temporary disabilities. The escort service can be accessed by calling the Security Office at 5555.
