The purpose of the SAFE Program is to develop liaisons between the various employees working in academic/administrative buildings and the police department in order to increase crime awareness and reporting. The program was designed to promote positive interaction between police officers and the staff and faculty members with an overall objective of working together to formulate strategies to solve and prevent crime related problems. The SAFE Program is a component of the department’s crime prevention and community involvement initiatives. The SAFE Program is fashioned after the Neighborhood Community Watch Programs found in many of our local communities. RHLOP The Residence Hall Liaison Program (RHLOP) assigns a specific officer to each residence hall. This unique concept allows for a community oriented/problem oriented policing approach for the residences to get to know members of the ECU Police Department. Liaison officers can provide presentations to residents or assist in solving problems common to the entire residence hall. To find out who your liaison officer is, ask your Resident Adviser. http://www.ecu.edu/studentlife/police/programs.cfm[3/15/2012 3:57:08 PM] Police Dept - Programs Related Offices NC Identity Theft Information Parking & Transportation Counseling Center Environmental Health & Safety Off-Campus & Community Living Victim Services Pitt-Greenville Crime Stoppers Quick Links JOBS JOBS Go Online Forms Event Request EventStaffing Staffing Request Go Alcohol & Drug Awareness These programs are for the entire campus community and provide information on alcohol and drug abuse.

Operation Identification is a nation-wide effort of law enforcement agencies and the citizens and businesses they serve. The goal is to reduce property theft, as well as, aid in recovery of stolen property through an identification system. Marking your possessions with an identifying number is an effective method of deterring theft. Thieves find it more difficult to dispose of stolen articles that can be traced through an owner’s personal ID number. If caught with a marked item, the thief can be convicted. The marked items can also be returned to the rightful owner. The ECU PD offers this service to students both on and off campus. A property sheet to record identification numbers is also furnished to aid in the recovery of stolen items.
