Campus Safety

Campus Safety Officers, who must earn yearly certification from the State of Oregon, are available 24/7 to respond to calls for service from the Willamette community. Our Campus Safety Officers have legal enforcement authority on all Willamette University and Tokyo International University of America property. Campus Safety contacts city emergency services for assistance as necessary.

Our Campus Safety Team members are trained not only in the basics of unarmed security, but also in non-violent crisis intervention techniques, verbal de-escalation skills, gender spectrum awareness, the importance of inclusion and equity on our campus, emergency procedures, first aid, and CPR.

Students are required to have and may be asked to present their Willamette photo ID card at any time on campus. ID cards are needed to access most buildings and events on campus. 

Request your ID through the ID Card request form. Visit Willamette University's ID Cards and Building Access page for more info.

Students may use their Willamette University student ID to pay for taxi services provided by Amanda's Taxi.

• Call Amanda's Taxi at 503-559-2200. Tell the dispatcher you are using Willamette SafeRide.
• Show the driver your valid Willamette ID card. The driver will enter your name and ID number on a SafeRide form.
• When you arrive, fill in the total amount, sign, and return the form to the driver.
• The Service Center will pay Yellow Cab and bill your student account for the total.

Students may request a security escort 24 hours, 7 days a week, to walk them between campus buildings by calling the on-duty Campus Safety Officer at:
Portland: 503-621-2061
Salem: 503-370-6911
