Campus Life
Public Safety
The Public Safety Department is here to help ensure everyone has a safe and secure experience on the Salem Academy and College campus.
Our fundamental duty is to provide the Salem Community—students, staff, faculty and visitors—with a safe educational and work environment.
To achieve this goal, the department maintains a campus-wide presence 24 hours a day every day of the year. We provide active patrols, prompt investigations of incidents, compassionate victim assistance and educational programs. Public Safety is committed to supporting Salem students by valuing them as individuals and giving them a safe environment that will enhance their learning and development.
To report a campus safety incident
We want all members of the Salem community to feel safe on campus and encourage anyone to contact us with any concerns.
Tips for Staying Safe on Campus
