Security on Campus Walk Safe
Safe and sound on the way to university and back home, no matter what time of day!
Walk Safe has been taking on this task for years as a preventative safety concept.
At three university locations - on campus “Im Neuenheimer Feld”, on campus “Altstadt” and campus “Bergheim” - regular safety inspections are carried out after dark to identify and eliminate “places of fear and danger/dark areas”.
Different university facilities work closely together to constantly adapt security measures according to local conditions.
