Mission Statement:

The mission of the Campus Escort Service is to provide safe, efficient, courteous, and reliable escorts for the University of Nevada, Reno students, staff, faculty, and visitors to their vehicles, residence, or any facility on campus or within a two mile radius from the perimeter of the University campus.

Our objective is to provide a safe transportation alternative to people on campus after normal business hours and to maintain a safe campus. In order to provide these services through walking or driving, our courtesy starts with a smile and ends with a safe arrival at the destination.

All About Campus Escorts:

Starting in January 2006, officers will have undergone self-defense training, a professional driving course, and basic CPR/First Aid care.

Operational tools consist of: a fleet of 7 vehicles (6 vans and 1 sedan); log sheets for all activity; flashlights; automotive jump boxes; Nextel communication with University Police Services; and a cellular phone.

Vision for the Future:

The vision of the Campus Escort Service is to become the most well-known and utilized student-operated service on campus and belong to a national group of organized Campus Escort Services/Safe Ride Programs that will provide for advancement of standards nationwide. Our vision is to become a model escort service that will be duplicated on other campuses around the country.
