Campus Safety
The Department of Campus Safety is responsible for providing a safe and secure environment. Campus Safety Officers are trained to provide excellent service through security checks, report writing, and other tasks. We have an excellent partnership with the Redding Police Department, and we encourage timely reporting of a crime to all appropriate agencies at federal, state and local levels.
Though Simpson University is located in a quiet, natural setting, the campus is not immune to crime. Acknowledgment of potential dangers and taking preventative measures help protect individuals and keep the Simpson University community safer.
FAQ’s
Q: May I park in the fire lane or curb? I will just be a few minutes.
A: There is no parking allowed on campus streets. The fire lanes are for the exclusive use of emergency vehicles, and according to the California Vehicle Code (CVC), you may not stop there. Campus Safety officers may issue parking citations for parking and fire lane violations.
Q: May I park in the disabled parking space if no other spots are open?
A: The disabled parking spaces are for people with disabilities who have an approved disability placard prominently displayed. The disabled parking spaces include the blue striped area next to the space with the disabled icon, and in front of the ramp.
Q: If I am locked out of my residence hall room, whom do I call to let me in?
A: Call your floor Resident Assistant first. If your RA is not available you may try your Resident Director.

A: All vehicles driven on campus must be registered through Campus Safety.
Q: Where can visitors park, and where can I obtain a visitor parking permit?
