Our trained Security Officers are a friendly, professional and visible presence 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
USF officers are an unarmed informational force and have jurisdiction in all areas of campus. They are in direct communication with the Joliet Police Department and the Joliet Fire Department and call upon their assistance when needed. The department is dedicated to maintaining a safe and secure learning, teaching and working environment at the University of St. Francis.
No matter how effective the university’s security procedures may be the primary responsibility for safety and security falls upon each and every one of us. No police force or set of rules and regulations can be effective unless the individual exercises reasonable caution and awareness. Safety and security is everyone’s responsibility.
The mission of the Safety & Security Department is to provide University of St. Francis student, staff, faculty, administration and visitors with a safe and secure learning environment by focusing on customer service, best practices, justice and professional development through the Franciscan values of respect, compassion, service and integrity.
Safety & Security is located in Tower Hall, TG-20.
Please contact Safety & Security at 815-740-3200 with any questions.
In an emergency situation, Safety & Security can be reached by dialing ext. 3200 on any campus telephone. Once a call is received, an officer is immediately dispatched to the site.
