The Division of Emergency Management works closely with the academic community to prepare for, or mitigate, vulnerabilities to hazards or disasters that may affect the University. By conducting training exercises, routine drills and equipment tests throughout the year, the division is better able to deal with the unforeseen challenges inherent in an actual emergency.
The police department is comprised of of both sworn law enforcement officers and civilian support staff to include twenty-one patrol officers, three detectives, two K9 officers, Auxiliary Service Officers, administrative personnel, IT specialists, and a fully-staffed, multi-jurisdictional communications center. Officers have full police authority in the State of Ohio, and the campus is patrolled 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Officers utilize cruisers, bikes, utility vehicles and foot to patrol campus and other university owned property.

Join us for a screening of the classic film of the musical directed by Milos Forman.
