Campus Safety

About Us

Campus Safety and Information

The Campus Safety department is privately run by the University, utilizing both professional staff as well as student staff. 

Our Affiliations

Law Enforcement
The PLU Campus Safety department contracts with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department (PCSD) to have deputies working specifically on the streets surrounding the University, assisting the school and community by providing a fast response time and legal authority when it's needed.  This relationship effectively makes the school a Contract City and allows us to take priority in emergency situations.  This additional presence has helped in creating a stronger relationship between the University and the surrounding community. The above PCSD link will allow you to access:

  • Community/neighborhood programs
  • Resources and services
  • Registered sex offenders in Pierce County

Fire and Medical
Our local fire department is Central Pierce Fire and Rescue (CPFR).  The closest station is less than ten blocks away

Visitor Parking 

Temporary parking for visitors is availlable across the street in the Library Lot, at the corner of
