Public Safety Update

As the holidays approach and colder weather arrives, you will see an increased presence of public safety officers doing walk-rounds on campus to deter non-affiliates from accessing our buildings.

Personal safety and security is a shared responsibility. Please wear your BU ID at all times when on campus. 

Beginning Dec. 17, IDs will be required for all employees and students entering buildings. If you do not display your ID, you will need to call a BU person to come down to escort you into the building. Visitors will need to sign in.

Please do not allow others to piggyback through card-accessed doors. They need to use their own ID; this includes stairwells and elevators.

If you See Something, Say Something by calling BUMC Public Safety at 617-358-4444 when on campus or dialing 911 off campus.
