Public Safety

Campus security and law enforcement is primarily the responsibility of Mercy Public Safety. Mercy Public Safety provides 24-hour day patrols of the grounds, parking areas, and buildings. The officers use both vehicle and foot patrols. Public safety officers enforce College rules/regulations, and federal, state, and local laws.

Public Safety is located at the main entrance of the Mercy Healthcare Center. The station is staffed 24 hours a day. The Security Department provides an escort service that operates 24 hours a day. The purpose of this service is to provide for the safety of anyone walking alone on campus. To request an escort, call 1-4444 from an on-campus phone or 419-251-4444 from an off-campus phone and a public safety officer will come to your location and accompany you to your vehicle or another building. A public safety vehicle is also available for these escorts.
