The mission of the Fontbonne University Department of Public Safety is to enhance the quality of life on campus by providing a safe, secure and orderly environment for our students, faculty, staff and visitors while protecting the physical assets of the University. This will be accomplished by comprehensive security, safety and parking programs designed to address the current and evolving needs of our community.

We make available to all students, faculty and staff a TEXT alert system that would be used in an instance where urgent or emergency notification was deemed necessary. A text alert would be sent to all those who subscribe to this service. In addition, we would employ our EMAIL system, university website and social media as necessary.
Our text service requires a current Fontbonne email address for sign-up, but it is possible for a student to ADD two more telephone numbers to their text alert account. Students should follow these instructions.
If you have any questions about the text message service, email Information Technology at askit@fontbonne.edu or call (314) 719-8095.
Like any major metropolitan area, there is going to be a certain level of crime. However, in the larger scheme of things, Fontbonne and Clayton, Mo., the suburb in which the university resides, are fairly safe places. In 2014, the City of Clayton was recognized as one of the safest cities in Missouri according to SafeWise.com. And, based on a survey of Clayton residents, 100% of respondents said they feel very or somewhat safe walking in their neighborhood — the best percentage of any city surveyed in the United States, according to city officials.
Of course, we encourage all our students, faculty and staff to exercise common sense and safety precautions when they are out and about.
