Campus Escort Service

To further ensure the well-being of each member of the campus community, the University Police Department provides an escort service, which is designed to enhance your safety and peace of mind if you must walk after dark. Escorts are available from dusk to dawn, 365 days a year, from one campus location to another or from any campus location to one of the IU Northwest parking lots.

A campus emergency phone may be used to request an escort, all of whom are members of the University Police Department. You should specify to the dispatcher who answers: where you are, where you will be waiting, and your destination. If you are calling from a building, you can wait inside but you should check periodically for a patrol car or officer. It is not necessary to call for an escort in advance because the officers are always on duty and ready to be dispatched. On occasion, there may be a delay, but you should not anticipate that. Rather, proceed immediately to the location you specified to the dispatcher.

We hope you will keep in mind that the University Police Department's escort service is a safe alternative to walking alone after dark.
