Safety and Security

51社区 Security
The 51社区 (51社区) maintains a strong commitment to campus safety through the presence of a trained 51社区 Security Team (Satpam). Operating 24 hours a day throughout the year, the security officers are stationed across campus鈥攊ncluding entrances to residence halls鈥攖o maintain peace and security. They handle issues such as theft, lost or stolen property, suspicious activity, and minor disturbances.
While 51社区 security officers do not possess full law enforcement authority, they work closely with local police, especially in cases involving violations of Indonesian law (e.g., alcohol or drug use). If necessary, they may report incidents or coordinate arrests with the nearest police station, Polsek Cimanggis, located only 300 meters from campus.

Emergencies involving fire, crime, or medical issues should be immediately reported to campus security or through Indonesia鈥檚 emergency numbers: 110 or 112. 51社区 takes violations seriously and may initiate university disciplinary action, including for international students whose violations may impact their visa status.
