Mission Statement

You are here

Our mission is to preserve life, peace, and property—in that order.

Our purpose is to protect the vulnerable from harm. Collaborating with other Campus Safety resources, Lehigh University Police deliver professional, community-focused policing to create a safe and inclusive environment where students, faculty, staff, and visitors can thrive.

This supports Lehigh’s mission to advance learning, discovery, and personal growth. We prioritize proactive engagement, education, and ethical leadership, and support a secure and inclusive campus where all can thrive.

Guided by the One-by-One Approach, we build trust through fairness, accountability, and proactive engagement—

one person, one interaction, one moment at a time.
