The service is a component of Oklahoma University Housing and Food Services. The OU Police Department co-sponsors the program. The program is staffed by OU Resident Advisors. The Safewalk Office is in the Cate Center Cafeteria (next door to the Coordinator's/RA's Office).
Persons who do not wish to walk alone can call 325-WALK (325-9255) and request an escort from 8pm till 2am, 7-days a week. Safewalk escorts will arrive within ten-fifteen minutes at any OU campus location and escort persons on foot to their campus destination.
Each Safewalk escort carries/displays a Safewalk nametag and an OU photo identification card to verify their identity.
The Safewalk coverage area spans north-to-south from Boyd Street to Lloyd Noble Center and west-to-east from Elm to Jenkins streets. In addition to campus locations, Safewalk will provide service to the north and south Greek areas immediately adjacent to campus. This service is free of charge to anyone who requests it.
SafeWalk staff carry flashlights all the time and umbrellas in wet weather. SafeWalk can be contacted by phone at 325-WALK (325-9255; 5-9255 from a campus phone) and you can call free from any campus courtesy phone, or by using the blue emergency phones. When using a blue phone, simply ask the OUPD dispatcher to connect you with SafeWalk.
