Campus Safety's primary responsibility is to protect the people and property of Biola University. This includes the responsibility for all persons at the University (e.g., students, faculty, staff and visitors) and for all property owned or operated by the University. Trained officers are on duty 24 hours a day and are willing to assist students. The Campus Safety Department offers special services such as a campus escort service, a rape prevention pro gram which includes several films and a seminar, bicycle registration service, Operation Identification (engraving of personal property for positive identification in case of theft) throughout the year. Vehicle registration, traffic control, building security and assistance in medical emergencies are additional services handled by this department Recognizing that a Christian university is not exempt from crime and danger, students are asked to use common sense and caution in every aspect of their activities.
