Campus Safety

The mission of Campus Safety and Security Services is to faithfully serve and protect the Trinity community with care and compassion in collaboration with Facility Services and Student Affairs to promote individual responsibility and respect so that the goal of Christ centered academic excellence can be obtained.

Campus Safety and Security Services provides security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to the University community in an official uniformed capacity, while our Security personnel are not sworn officers; our campus is regularly patrolled by The Deerfield Police Department. Trinity International University publishes a Crime Statistics page and keeps a Daily Fire and Crime Log. Both reports are publicly accessible. These reports are also available to be viewed in person during normal business hours at the Facility Services building.

Emergency Alert System

The campus alert service will be used in the event of an Emergency Notification, Timely Warning or when any other important information needs to be relayed to the Trinity community.
