2025 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report - Public Safety Advisories and Emergency Notifications

In the event of criminal activity occurring on Ball State’s Clery geography (on campus, on-campus housing, public property adjacent to and immediately accessible from campus, or on certain other non- campus properties owned or controlled by the University) that, in the judgment of the Department of Public Safety constitutes a serious or continuing threat to members of the campus community, a campus-wide “Public Safety Advisory” (a.k.a., “timely warning”) will be issued.

• Live PDF wrap leaves a space in 'non- campus'. Curly apostrophe and curly quotes preserved.

The University has an emergency management plan designed to ensure there is a timely and effective response in the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on campus involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of members of the campus community.

• Opens the Emergency Response/Notifications overview.

In collaboration with other appropriate personnel, the Department of Public Safety will determine who should be notified, and will—without delay, and considering the safety of the community—determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

• Em dashes around without delay are live PDF punctuation, not editorial.
