Our Campus Safety Department, located at #5 Spann on the northwest corner of University and Tutwiler, employs 30 dedicated women and men who are licensed guards with the State of Tennessee, working in three shifts daily. We also appreciate the strong collaborations we have with our on-campus and off-campus partners. By working together, we can achieve our goal of maintaining a safe and secure campus.
