Dear Colorado State University Community,

Safety forms the foundation of everything we do at CSU. When students, faculty, staff, and visitors feel secure, they are free to pursue academic excellence, groundbreaking research, and meaningful connections that define the university experience. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report provides transparency about safety statistics, policies, and resources available to our community.

We encourage every member of our community to review this report. Understanding our safety resources, knowing how to report concerns, and being aware of emergency procedures are essential components of maintaining a secure campus environment. Your awareness and participation in campus safety initiatives strengthen our entire community.

Our commitment to safety is year-round and multifaceted. The Colorado State University Police Department works tirelessly to patrol our campus, respond to incidents, and build relationships with community members. Our Environmental Health Services team ensures compliance with fire safety regulations in all campus facilities. Student support services provide resources for those who need assistance, and our emergency management team continuously updates protocols to address evolving safety challenges.

However, campus safety is truly a shared responsibility. Each member of our community plays a vital role in maintaining the secure environment that enables CSU to fulfill its mission. We ask that you remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, participate in safety training programs, and look out for one another.

The safety of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors remains our highest priority. By working together and staying informed about campus safety resources and procedures, we can ensure that Colorado State University continues to be a place where academic pursuits, research endeavors, and campus life flourish in an environment built on security, trust, and mutual respect.

Thank you for your continued commitment to campus safety and for being part of the Colorado State University community.
