Campus Security


We at Baptist College of Health Sciences are concerned about the welfare, security and safety of every individual at the College. However, maintaining a secure and safe campus environment can only be achieved through a cooperative effort of the entire College community.


The Baptist College of Health Sciences Campus Security department reports to the Executive Director, Administrative Services. The security department consists of a lieutenant and seven uniformed patrolmen. The department strives to provide high quality security, safety and crime prevention services that meet the needs and standards of a progressive academic institution.

The Campus Security has close and highly effective working relationships with Tennessee state and Memphis city police, who can provide these services to the campus in a timely fashion, if required.


We encourage all individuals on this campus to be conscious of their surroundings and assist in making security and safety a matter of routine in their activities.
