The University Police actively seeks students who are interested in learning more about the Law Enforcement profession or who need student worker jobs at Southeastern. Our student worker program is called the Lion Guard. Members of the Lion Guard actively patrol the residential areas, assist with safety escorts, and assist with securing University buildings. Our Lion Guard acts as a second set of eyes for our officers and reports any suspicious incidents.
To apply for a student position, contact the Department at 985-549-2222 or e-mail [email protected].
Yes, provided you take some simple steps to enhance your safety. First of all, be alert to suspicious people or circumstances. If something or someone doesn’t seem right to you, go to a well-lit populated area and notify the police. Travel in well lit, well-traveled areas and try not to walk alone. Familiarize yourself with the locations of emergency phones around campus – if you ever have a problem these are a direct line to the University Police.
