A.T. Still University employs a Director of Campus Safety who oversees and manages Campus Safety teams across all ATSU campuses, including Kirksville, MO; Mesa, AZ; Santa Maria, CA; and St. Louis, MO. Each campus has a dedicated management structure to ensure effective oversight. The Campus Safety Department is responsible for enforcing rules and regulations established through University policies and procedures designed to maintain a safe and secure environment.
The Campus Safety Department is staffed by unarmed, uniformed officers, consisting of ATSU Campus Safety Officers and, depending on campus location, augmented through contracted Securitas Officers. All Campus Safety Officers are trained and committed to the mission of providing a safe and secure environment for students, staff and faculty at every ATSU site.
Annual Security & Fire Safety Reports
Annual Security Reports (ASRs) are published each year in compliance with the Higher Education Act and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). The Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”) amended and expanded the Clery Act in 2014. Since the campus at Kirksville, Missouri has student housing, the Kirksville ASR includes a Fire Safety Report, including fire statistics.
The Annual Security Reports (ASRS) for A.T. Still University provide campus-specific information along with University policies related to safety, security, fire safety, sexual offense resources, and alcohol and drug prevention. Each ASR contains Clery-reportable crime statistics for the past three years, which can also be accessed online at ope.ed.gov/campussafety/. In addition, current daily crime logs are available for review at the Campus Safety/Security office at all ATSU campuses.
ASRs are emailed to all students once a year and may be found online at atsu.edu/security. Printed copies of the ASR may be obtained from ATSU campus safety or from Student Affairs upon request.
Emergency Procedures
ATSU’s security website provides instructions for actions to be taken in emergency situations at atsu.edu/security. The ATSU Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) has been developed to encompass all campuses to include Kirksville, Mesa, Santa Maria, and the St. Louis Dental Clinic, copies of which are available by contacting the Campus Safety/Security office at all ATSU campuses.
Emergency notifications and timely warnings
In the event of an emergency or ongoing danger to the campus community, students will receive emergency notifications and/or timely warnings. The alerts will provide important information and actions to be taken.
All students will receive emergency alerts by email. To receive emergency alerts by text messaging, students must register their mobile number and campus location at getrave.com/login/atsu. All students are strongly encouraged to register to receive emergency alerts by text messaging.
Identification Badges
ATSU strives to provide the safest learning and working environment for students and staff. Standardized identification of ATSU community members is an essential step in the process of securing University facilities and campuses. All residential students will be issued photo ID badges when their education program begins. The photo ID badge should be worn and visible at all times while on campus and at clinical sites.
Online (distance) students are not required to have an ID badge but they may request one from the Office of Campus Safety by submitting an online Badge Request Form which can be found on the Campus Safety website. The Campus Safety Service Desk will verify that the person is an active student and a picture-less badge will be mailed to them. Distance students may send an appropriate business-like picture if a pictured badge is needed. Contact Campus Safety for further information.
The full ATSU policy on Identification (ID) Badges 95-109 can be found in Appendix H .
