The Safe Walk program is here to help our community get around campus safely, day or night. If you need an escort, a Campus Public Safety or a student safety team member will be happy to assist you.
Our Safe Walk team is always equipped with radios and flashlights, and they stay connected through our dispatchers with our Security Operations Centre. You can easily recognize them by their SFU Campus Public Safety ID badges.
They are here to help you feel safe and secure on campus, 24/7!
Requesting a Safe Walk
To request a Safe Walk escort:
- Call the Campus Public Safety non-emergency line: 778-782-7991 or through the SFU Safe app.
