Our jurisdiction spans DeKalb, Fulton, and Newton Counties, covering 500 yards beyond our campus borders. EPD’s sworn officers partner with the Atlanta Police, DeKalb County Police, the City of Oxford Police, and other law enforcement agencies to serve the greater Emory community. Each department is committed to working together, keeping each other apprised of important information about crimes and crimes trends.

EPD also provides management oversight for electronic security systems (access control, alarms, and CCTV systems) and physical facility security services within the university.

Diversity

Our department seeks to uphold the dignity and rights of all through fair treatment, honest dealing, and respect. Like our diverse Emory community, EPD strives to set high standards for law enforcement, including recruiting and retaining individuals from diverse backgrounds.
