Public Safety

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Division of Public Safety webpage. The Division consists of the EKU Police Department, Emergency Management, Fire & Life Safety, Environmental Health & Safety, Parking & Transportation Services, Risk Management & Insurance, and Workers' Compensation. Below is a brief description of each department.

It is our goal to create a campus culture and foster a campus atmosphere that provides every person on campus the safety they deserve. We do this with methodical planning, training, implementation, monitoring, reporting, and enforcement; before incidents occur, and not in reaction to them.

If I can be of assistance to you, please don't hesitate to call me at (859) 622-2421, or come by and visit us at the Adams House, at the intersection of Crabbe Street and Lancaster Avenue, across from the Alumni House.

Sincerely,

Bryan Makinen
