Personal Safety

Oakland was recently ranked the second safest campus in the United States. As in any community setting, individuals must make choices that maximize their personal safety and security. Therefore, the Oakland University Police Department (OUPD) offers many safety tips at https://oupolice.com/safety/.

OUPD maintains an extensive network of nearly 200 emergency phones located at strategic places around main campus. These phones (when activated) have a direct connection to our 911 Communications Center. Crimes in progress, medical emergencies, fires and other emergencies can be reported by pushing the "Help" button on the face of the phone. Once the information is gathered, emergency response time is often as little as 90 seconds.

If at any time you do not feel safe while walking on campus, please call the OUPD at (248) 370-3331 to request a SAFEwalk escort. When you request a SAFEwalk escort, a police officer or police service aide will be dispatched to the area to ensure that you safely walk to your destination on campus.

Emergency Preparedness

If an emergency arises on campus, call the OUPD at 911 or (248) 370-3331. Save this number in your phone, and put it in an easy-to-find spot in your contacts.

In the event of a threat to campus, OUPD will notify the community via the emergency notification system. Register for text alerts by texting OUPD to 888777. Ensure that at least one mobile device is on in class to receive emergency notifications.

The instructor of your class is not responsible for your personal safety, so therefore it is the responsibility of each student to understand the evacuation and “lockdown” guidelines to follow when an emergency is declared. Please familiarize yourself with the emergency procedures at https://oupolice.com/em.

The OUPD strongly encourages all visitors to review the seven-minute Run, Hide, Fight video at https://oupolice.com/em/activeshooter/ prior to arriving on campus.
