Community Safety

Pepperdine is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all students and community members.

Campus Security:

Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers receive emergency response training including CPR, first aid, and fire response. The Malibu campus entrances are monitored 24 hours a day to ensure vehicles and pedestrians are authorized to access campus. DPS officers provide security escorts 24 hours a day, upon request, and transportation for students with temporary medical conditions impacting mobility. They also provide services such as jump starts and vehicle lockouts.

Emergency Preparedness and Response:

The Office of Emergency Services, the Office of Insurance and Risk, DPS, and the University’s Emergency Operations Committee (EOC), in cooperation with many other departments, work to ensure that Pepperdine upholds the highest standards in emergency preparedness. During emergencies faculty, students, and staff are informed by the University’s emergency mass notification system. The LiveSafe Mobile App is another tool that provides an immediate path to communicating safety information to 911 or DPS. Community members may also go to the University Emergency Information page, emergency.pepperdine.edu, for EOC updates and decisions.
