Department of Campus Safety and Security

Seminary safety and security are coordinated through the Department of Campus Safety and Security. The security force is comprised of the Chief of Campus Safety and Security, two Assistant Chiefs, three supervisors of campus police and building security and approximately 15 officers and dispatchers. We continue to train officers in emergency procedures, first aid and CPR. They conduct foot and vehicular patrols of the campus and residence hall areas 24 hours a day. On campus, the officers enforce seminary regulations.

They also work very closely with the Louisville Metro Police Department as well as with the state and federal agencies, to assist them with incidents that may occur on and off-campus. The Louisville Metro Police Department’s 5th District office is only 3-5 minutes from campus. Securitas Security Services is contracted to provide security officers and dispatchers. The Department of Campus Safety and Security enforces Seminary regulations regarding parking, OSHA, employee safety, fire safety, security of building and emergency response guidelines. Illegal drugs and alcohol are not permitted on campus.

Firearms and dangerous weapons of any type are not permitted in the residence halls or on campus by students or employees other than as may be required by the Department of Campus Safety and Security. Security officers and dispatchers are on duty 24 hours a day. They also observe video monitors which are connected to cameras located throughout the campus in public areas. All residence halls are locked at certain times. Access can only be gained by a key assigned to each resident student.

Security officers carry hand-held radios for contact with our local dispatch system in case of an emergency or request. Potential criminal actions and other emergencies on campus can be reported directly by any student, faculty member, or employee to the Department of Campus Safety and Security by dialing campus extension [x4444]. Upon receipt of the call, a security officer immediately responds to the site of the complaint. They prepare and submit incident reports to be filed in the Department of Campus Safety and Security.

The Facilities Department, maintains the seminary’s buildings and grounds and works closely with the Department of Campus Safety and Security. Safety and Security inspects campus facilities regularly and responds immediately to reports of potential safety and security hazards, such as broken windows, locks and lighting. We then request Facility employees to make repairs affecting safety and security. The Department of Campus Safety and Security also provides the availability of dusk to dawn escort service around the campus. Anyone may request use of this service.

I just finished reading and signing The Manhattan Declaration (MD), and I urge you to do the same. The Manhattan Declaration is a document affirming the sanctity of human life, the sanctity of marriage, and the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

The Blur of Gender — Is The New York Times Trying to Tell Us Something?
by R. Albert Mohler Jr.Nov 20

Is The New York Times trying to tell us something? Just eleven days after running a story on gender-bending teenagers on the front page of its “Style” section, the paper is back with yet another front page story in the same section, this time on gender-bending young adults. The articles even cite the same psychologist as authority. What’s going on here?

When Morality Collapses — The Therapeutic Evasion
by R. Albert Mohler Jr.Nov 19

Any civilization requires a stable, rational, and consensual moral framework in order to survive. Western civilization has been built on a framework of Christian morality, with the so-called “Judeo-Christian ethic” providing the moral principles that support laws, ethical reasoning, and moral impulses.

I mentioned yesterday that I am in New Orleans this week to deliver a paper on homosexuality at the Evangelical Theological Society. Yesterday I came across an article that relates to the subject matter of that paper.
