FROM THE DIRECTOR
Our mission is to protect the campus community to ensure a safe environment in which to live and learn - one that's located in a safe, suburban area. Taking personal safety steps as well as reporting suspicious activities are some of the best ways you can help us to continue providing a secure campus environment.
Campus Safety is staffed by a Director, Assistant Director, Full-time, and Part-time Campus Safety Officers who are licensed by New York State and have first aid/CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) training. Officers also receive training in other areas throughout the year. Campus Safety Officers are not Police or Peace Officers, and rely on the Town of Hamburg Police Department to perform any arrests on campus, if necessary. You will see officers patrolling the campus by marked patrol car, golf cart, bicycle, or on foot 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
We take pride in our duties to ensure the safety of all. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Campus Safety at any time.
Who We Are
Hilbert Campus Safety provides a security and safety program that offers around-the-clock patrol and services to the campus community. Campus Safety is responsible for enforcement of college rules, regulations and policies. Violations of law are reported to the Town of Hamburg Police Department for action or other appropriate local, state or federal authorities.
The duties of campus safety meet the specialized needs of the college, including:
- Preventative patrol of grounds and buildings
- Emergency first aid and assistance
- Parking and traffic management
- Crime prevention
- Incident investigation and reporting
- Enforcement of college policies (including those related to alcohol and drug use and weapons possession)
- Special services, like safety seminars and escort services
Your safety is our concern. The Hilbert Office of Campus Safety works hard to ensure the campus is a safe place to learn, live and work. With the combined efforts and cooperation of the entire Hilbert community, we can continue to make the college secure and one of the safest campuses in the area.
Hilbert College is located in Hamburg, NY, a suburb of the city of Buffalo, NY. With the advantages of a major city only ten to fifteen minutes away, Hilbert is the ideal place to study and live in a safe, small and caring environment.
In addition to 24 hour per day security, Hilbert employs a Residence Life Coordinator and Assistant Director of Residence Life who both live on campus in student housing.
