The campus is very safe. Over the years, there have been a relatively constant number of reported campus crimes. However, it is important to note Xavier is part of a larger urban community and we make the personal safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors a top priority and maintain strong professional ties with the Norwood Police Department and the City of Cincinnati. Xavier University maintains a professional, state-certified police force with police powers and authority under Section 1713.50 of the Ohio Revised Code. All officers have been certified through a certified Ohio Peace Officer's Training Academy as mandated under Section 1713.50(d) of the Ohio Revised Code. XUPD is available 24/7/365 and can be reached via calling 911 or 513-745-1111.
