Director's Comments

Welcome to the Lake Forest College Department of Public Safety Web site.  The intent of this site is to provide information regarding security and safety issues to both our on-campus and off-campus communities.

Public safety is a community effort.  With the combined efforts of the community and this Department, Lake Forest College will continue to maintain a safe and secure learning environment.

Please take a moment to review the anonymous crime reporting page.  In addition to reporting crime, comments and complaints/compliments can also be forwarded from this site.  A guide to other available campus and off-campus services can be accessed through the Links page.  The Safety Bulletins page provides information regarding incidents of concern to the entire community; as well as a place to announce upcoming events that promote safety and security.

We welcome your input and questions.  Please feel free to contact us.
