The Rockford University Police and Public Safety Department is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for every member of our campus community. The crime rate at Rockford University is low because we encourage our students, faculty, and staff to exercise safety precautions on campus as if they were in a large city. As a caring community, we strive to be proactive, not reactive, and take measures to reduce the likelihood that an incident will occur. Programs start at the beginning of the school year and continue throughout the year. From National Campus Safety Awareness Month in September, to Domestic Violence awareness in October, and Sexual Assault Awareness in April to name a few. A self-defense class for women is offered throughout the year. Our RAVE campus safety app. is offered to every student at Rockford University. Rave notifies faculty, staff, and students to emergencies in and around campus. The Department of Police and Public Safety also offers a safe walk program for students throughout the school year. Our staff is very student friendly and ready to assist you in any way possible.  Rockford University Police and Public Safety has a very good rapport with the Rockford Police Department. District 3 Headquarters of the Rockford Police Department is located directly across the street from campus. We also have a great working relationship with the Rockford Fire Department.
