Department of Public Safety - ESCORT POLICY

All escorts must begin or end either on-campus (e.g., to and from parking lots, campus buildings), at Smiley's Clinic or at the Fairview ER.

Clients will be limited to one escort per 20 minute period.
Escorts will only be taken to authorized locations such as the light rail, private residences, apartment buildings, vehicles parked on city streets and common internship/volunteer sites near campus. A complete list of locations will be available online here. We will NOT provide escorts to restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores and establishments that serve alcohol. See the list on-line for details.
To increase the efficiency of our service, each authorized location will have a designated pick-up/drop-off point. While these points are listed on-line, the dispatcher can remind you when you call.
DPS may refuse service to any escort client that is not dressed for the weather.

Although the list includes restrictions, the college continues to urge all campus community members to contact Public Safety if you are concerned for your safety or the safety of other campus community members, no matter your location.

We believe some of our escort clients are not affiliated with the college. Starting in the fall of 2009, we will be checking student IDs for our escorts. At least one person in an escort group must have a valid Augsburg ID.

Help Prevent Crime At Augsburg!

Keep valuables locked and out of site.
Always lock your residence and/or office when you leave, even if a roommate/colleague is inside.
Never leave your keys or valuables unattended for any length of time.
Use a "U-lock" to lock your bicycle and include both the front tire and the frame in the lock.
Report suspicious persons or activities to the Minneapolis Police or Public Safety dispatch right away.

Severe Weather / Tornado

Follow these precautions:

AVOID auditoriums, Si Melby gymnasium, Ice Arena, and other structures with wide, free-span roofs.
Stay away from windows and exterior doors.
Do not open windows; this can increase damage to buildings.
Take along a battery-operated radio; WCCO 830 AM provides frequent weather updates.
Remain in the shelter area until the all clear is given by the weather sevice or Public Safety. After the storm has passed, you may re-enter rooms and buildings that have not been damaged or closed off by Public Safety.
Report injuries and damage. If the building has been damaged, evacuate and do not attempt to return to the building unless authorized by Public Safety. Contact Public Safety at extension 1717 to report all situations that need immediate attention.
