Campus Escort Programs

University police officer escorts students across campus.

Campus escort programs aim to improve the safety of individuals traveling alone on campus at night.  The programs run from nightfall until 7 a.m. and can be arranged by calling 410-704-SAFE (7233). Safewalk, ride-van, and individual escort services are available.

Safewalk provides police aides to escort students, faculty and staff members walking across campus alone between dusk and midnight. Escorts dressed in blue uniforms and equipped with radios will meet individuals at any central campus location and walk them to a chosen campus destination. 

The Police Department ride-van is available to transport individuals traveling alone in outlying campus areas from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily.  The ride-van travels to all on-campus destinations.

After the Safewalk and ride-van services end, police officers and police aides provide individual escorts to on-campus destinations. Though the police respond to each request as quickly as possible, delays due to emergency situations requiring officers’ immediate response may occur. Individuals requesting rides with officers should plan ahead and be flexible.
