University Police: To Serve and Protect...

Police Chief: Stephen P. Goulet
Location: Bullock Hall

Escort Service Phone: x7777

Clark University's approach to campus security is proactive, with University Police working to build a strong and interactive relationship with the students, faculty and staff they are committed to serving. The Clark University Police Department, headed by Chief Steve Goulet, includes 12 officers who are empowered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As such, Clark University police are authorized within a limited geographic area to perform the same duties as any other police officer. They have the authority to wear firearms and to make arrests.

Besides the Clark campus, officers also patrol the surrounding streets. There, they work in cooperation with the Worcester City Police to protect off-campus students and property. They patrol by foot and by car 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are all certified in CPR and other medical emergency techniques. They also are all required by Clark University to undergo special training in such areas as crisis intervention, diversity sensitivity, firearms use, medical emergencies, victim awareness, sexual assault and domestic violence.

Clark Safety Escort Service

The Clark Safety Escort Service is staffed by both undergraduate and graduate students and offers a two-tiered approach to arranging safe escorts for our community.

Three vans provide rides to our community from 4pm-4am daily throughout the academic sessions and will take riders (students and other community members) up to a quarter mile away from campus. Accompanied walking escorts are also available to destinations across campus and to nearby residential addresses from 8am-2am.

Students should call and request a ride by dialing the number listed below. After you receive your estimated time of arrival (ETA) from the dispatcher, it is your responsibility to be ready for the vans. To increase efficiency we are no longer offering "call backs". If you believe you have missed your van or foot escort please call back and we will arrange for a new escort. Please note that you may be put on hold, by the dispatcher, and during particularly busy times we may not be able to take calls to commercial locations.

Any questions, comments or suggestions about the Clark Safety Escort Service should be sent to the Director, Leah Coleman (LeColeman@clarku.edu).

The Clark Safety Escort Service headquarters is located within the Academic Commons, on the plaza level of the Goddard Library.

To access the Clark Safety Escort Service, dial x7777 on-campus, or 508.793.7777 from an outside line.
