  • Fort Lewis works closely with the Durango Police Department, the La Plata County Sherriff’s Office and the Colorado State Patrol, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the local FBI and US Marshall’s Office.

  • Fort Lewis has an Emergency Operations Plan and campus police officers are trained in appropriate procedures for many types of emergencies
  • Campus parking lots and sidewalks are well lit at night.

  • Eleven emergency telephones are located in parking lots and residential areas of campus.

  • The outside doors of residence halls lock automatically when closed, requiring a key for entry.

  • Campus security offers educational programs in the residential halls and elsewhere on campus on issues such as crime prevention, sexual assault awareness and personal safety.
