Welcome to Minot State University!

It is an honor and privilege to serve as the Director of the Office of Safety and Security at Minot State University. I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our dedicated safety and security team as we remain committed to providing a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where students, faculty, staff, and visitors can learn, work, and thrive.

Our mission extends beyond providing security services. We strive to build meaningful relationships throughout the campus community, foster trust, and remain approachable and responsive to the needs of those we serve. Through proactive safety measures, professional development, ethical practices, and effective communication, we work to ensure that every interaction reflects respect, fairness, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to service.

We believe that a strong campus safety program is built on collaboration, preparedness, and continuous improvement. By working closely with university departments, students, faculty, staff, local law enforcement, and community partners, we strengthen our ability to identify concerns, respond effectively to incidents, and promote a culture of safety and shared responsibility across campus.

At Minot State University, campus safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage every member of our university community to remain aware of their surroundings, report concerns, and take an active role in helping maintain a safe and supportive campus environment. Your partnership, feedback, and trust are essential to our success.

Thank you for being part of the Minot State University community. My team and I are committed to serving you with integrity, dedication, and professionalism. Together, we will continue building a campus where everyone feels safe, respected, supported, and welcome.

Sincerely,
