Public Safety
Catawba College, Salisbury, and Rowan County are vibrant, charming, and safe places to live united by a strong sense of community. Our Office of Public Safety works in collaboration with our many campus and community partners to ensure Catawba College remains a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to learn, live, and work.
Our department is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but our services go beyond patrolling and responding to emergencies. We’ll escort you back to your residence hall after a late dinner or study session, train you in emergency self-defense, along with other services.
