Security and Safety is an important issue for the Sacred Heart Major Seminary community. Each member of the Seminary Community – students, faculty, and staff – should take an active role in preventing and reporting incidents that jeopardize safety on and around campus.

Protecting Property

•  Do not leave exterior doors to the residential area propped open at any time.
• Rooms should be locked AT ALL TIMES.
• Park cars in assigned areas only.
• Lock cars and conceal valuables in cars.
• Report any unusual or suspicious activity, individual or incident to the Security Staff immediately.

• Before you leave for school or work, plan your safest route. Routes that are well lighted and well traveled are safest.
• The quickest route is not always the safest. Give yourself ample time to travel the safest route.
• Always have a backup plan. Plan a secondary route to travel in case there is a major accident or construction tie-up.
• Carpool if possible. 
• Always keep your vehicle well maintained.
• Purchase a decent spare tire. Make sure you know how to change the tire if you need to.
• If someone stops to ask you if you need help, ask them to go and call the police for you. Do not go with them. 
• If possible, carry a cell phone.
• Avoid road rage. Using verbal retaliation or a gesture could end in a deadly tragedy. Drive calmly.
