Message from the Chief

IPFW is concerned about the safety and welfare of all campus members and guests and is committed to promoting a safe and secure environment. Although we have been fortunate in not experiencing a significant number of serious crimes, the potential for such incidents always exists. To prevent these crimes from happening, Police and Safety needs the help of all students, staff, and faculty. Please report all suspicious activity immediately. Don't leave your valuables unattended.

Our personnel includes fifteen police officers, two safety officers, and five clerk/dispatchers. Our department works closely with local law enforcement agencies and solicits information on any criminal activity of students that may occur at off-campus locations. Through agreement with the City of Fort Wayne we have been authorized jurisdiction throughout the city.
