What We Do

We provide safety training and education to the campus community on topics such as personal safety, emergency preparedness, and crime prevention.

Campus Safety supports the Emergency Management team in planning for and responding to emergencies and disasters. 

The Emergency Management & Continuity Program safeguards Lewis & Clark’s community members and protects the College’s ability to meet the core missions that are vulnerable to any emergency that results in the loss of vital resources, such as facilities, equipment, infrastructure, technology, or personnel.

The lost and found storage area for Lewis & Clark College is located in the Campus Safety office. Found items are kept for 30 days and then donated to a charitable organization or discarded. If we do not have your item, we will record your information and contact you if your item is found. If you have lost an item, please call us at 503-768-7855 or send e-mail to safety@lclark.edu.

Campus Safety manages access to campus buildings and can issue keycards and other access credentials to authorized individuals. We issue ID cards to students, faculty and staff. Your ID card can be used as photo ID, to access card reader controlled buildings on campus, for use in the libraries, proof of status for merchant discounts and for use in the dining facilities.

The first ID card issued is free: if your ID card is rendered inoperable through normal wear and tear, a replacement card will be issued in exchange for the old card. 

All members of the Lewis & Clark community must possess a Lewis & Clark identification card on their person while they are on the Lewis & Clark campus. This policy applies equally to staff, faculty, and students. An identification card with current validation entitles students to free or reduced admission to certain campus events, use of Pamplin Sports Center facilities, and use of the libraries. Current validation is also required to register at the beginning of each term.

Photos are taken in the Office of Campus Safety. Contact Campus Safety at (503) 768-7855 for photo-taking hours.

All members of the Lewis & Clark community must present their ID upon request to Lewis & Clark officials. When ID Cards are lost or stolen, they must be reported to the Campus Safety Office. A $25 fee is charged to replace a lost card.

Campus Safety utilizes CCTV/security cameras to prevent and investigate crimes. Campus Safety, along with Emergency Management and IT, manages the placement and use of the CCTV/security camera system.
