ԭ Lake Campus Safety

The ԭ Lake Campus Police Department takes pride in building and maintaining positive relationships within Mercer County and the Lake community and is an extension of the Dayton-Campus ԭ Police Department. The goal of the Lake Campus Police Department is to make the community safer and provide excellent service to the Lake Campus. While the Lake Campus Police Department is an extension of the Dayton campus, our mission and programming are the same, which is to provide a safe and secure campus for the students, staff, and faculty. Please take the time to read about the services and essentials that the Lake Campus Police Department provides.

Automated External Defibrillator

As a part of ԭ's overall emergency planning, an Automated External Defibrillator program was established in 2016. AEDs are strategically placed across both the Dayton and Lake campuses to keep an AED within five minutes of a cardiac arrest event.

Many of the AEDs are housed in wall-mounted storage cabinets for easy access. The cabinets are alarmed and when opened, will send a signal to the Public Safety Service Center to alert first responders to a potential emergency. Public Safety also carries AEDs with them as a part of first response.

All ԭ DPS police officers are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and AED usage.

The Environmental Health andSafety (EHS) Department oversees the AED at both the Dayton and Lake campuses. Monthly inspections are conducted by Facilities Casualty Prevention personnel.

Reporting potential cardiac emergencies

Report cardiac emergencies on the Dayton campus by calling 911 from any campus telephone and telling the dispatcher the location of the cardiac emergency. To contact University Police from a cell phone, dial 937-775-2111.

Note: If you call 911 from a cell phone, you will be connected with off-campus emergency responders.


Naloxone (Narcan)

The Department of Public Safety in partnership with the ԭ Mental Health Taskforce and the Ohio Department of Health’s Project DAWN (Deaths Avoidance With Naloxone) has implemented a Naloxone Program at the Dayton Campus.

Naloxone (commonly known as Narcan) is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opiod overdose--substances such as heroin, fentanyl, and prescription pain medications.When administered during an overdose, Naloxone blocks the effects of the opioid on the brain and can quickly restore breathing. Naloxone, if given to a person who is not experiencing an overdose, is harmless. Naloxone can be administered by any trained person.

Naloxone cabinets have been placed at various locations at the Dayton Campus. Public Safety also carries Naloxone with them as part of first response.

The Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) Department oversees the Naloxone program at both the Dayton and Lake campuses. Monthly inspections are conducted by Facilities Casualty Prevention personnel.

Public Safety provides emergency Naloxone treatmenttraining to members of the ԭ community. All participants who receive training by Public Safety are provided with a free Naloxone kit. If you are interested in becoming Naloxone trained, contact Public Safety through the Campus Safety Series.
