Campus Safety

Campus Safety is staffed 24 hours a day year-round by specially-trained professionals who serve the campus community.

A safe and welcoming campus

Jewell's Campus Safety officers are visible throughout campus, ensuring the safety and security of all members of the Jewell community. Upon request, a night Campus Safety officer will provide rides from any parking lot to any residence hall if a student feels unsafe. Liberty police and fire departments are located in close proximity to campus and offer a fast response time if needed.

Jewell's Director of Campus Safety Mike Crutchfield has served as a safety and security supervisor at a healthcare facility. In this role he analyzed and advised on daily issues regarding the effectiveness of policies, procedures and operations to include monitoring physical security, access control and customer service. Mike is an Army veteran including multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. During his military career he served as a training coordinator, security project manager and Joint Coordination Center operations manager, along with other duties. He holds a master’s degree in emergency management and homeland security and is a member of the American Society of Industrial Security.

Emergency Alert Notification

A mass alert system allows us to quickly communicate in the case of emergencies. The system integrates with our My Jewell database, so you may sign up easily once you have your student account. During Orientation, you will receive information on signing up in addition to several reminders throughout the year as we administer test alerts.

William Jewell is committed to protecting the safety and security of our campus community. Being prepared and knowing where to go is critical because disasters and emergencies can happen at any time. View our Emergency Preparedness Plan.
