NJCU RATES FIRST IN CAMPUS SAFETY AMONG PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN NEW JERSEY
New Jersey City University (NJCU) is the safest public four-year college or university in New Jersey, according to statistics reported on October 1, 2014 in compliance with the federally mandated Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policies and Campus Statistics Act.
NJCU credits its safe campus to foot patrols by Public Safety officers, the use of closed-circuit television, card-swipe access to buildings, information sharing with students, faculty, and staff on personal safety and crime prevention, campus shuttle service, and personal escort service available upon request.
“I whole-heartedly congratulate our Public Safety Department and our faculty, staff, students and community for being alert and active partners in keeping NJCU the safe and beautiful place it is,” said NJCU President Sue Henderson. “I am proud to learn that NJCU is New Jersey’s safest public university as well as a wonderful place to learn, live, and enjoy the many benefits of university life,” Dr. Henderson added.
NJCU Director of Public Safety Bruce Harman commented, “The safety and well-being of the NJCU community is the top priority of the Public Safety Department.” He noted, “The Public Safety staff works diligently to keep our University a safe place and we thank our University community for their help and cooperation.”
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose specific timely and annual information about campus crime and security policies.
Colleges and universities must disclose crime statistics for the campus, unobstructed public areas immediately adjacent to or running through the campus, and certain non-campus facilities including off-campus housing and remote classrooms.
