Safety
We Want to Keep You Safe
We have implemented a number of measures to ensure the safety of our students, faculty
and staff.
Texas Tech Police Department
The Texas Tech Police Department has officers patrolling campus at all times. Officers on bikes and foot patrol buildings and sidewalks.
The Police Department also offers a number of programs to prevent crimes on campus.
Officers can discuss safety topics such as theft prevention, alcohol awareness, residential security and storm readiness.
The Annual Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics report contains information regarding campus crime statistics, campus crime prevention
programs, university resources, and policies and procedures for when crimes occur.
Securing Buildings
Uniformed guards patrol and open all academic buildings for classes in the mornings.
Blue Phones
The blue light means safety.
Texas Tech provides 102 blue phones on campus. These phones offer a direct line to the Texas Tech Police Department. At night, blue lights mounted on top of the phones make them easy to spot.
Shuttles
Texas Tech Student Government Association contracts with Lubbock Citibus to provide shuttle bus service on campus and designated areas off campus.
Emergency Alert System
TechAlert! is Texas Tech's official emergency alert notification system. Within minutes of an emergency such as severe weather or a school closure, the system sends information via email, text message and phone call.
Make sure your information is entered correctly in the system.
