Linfield Public Safety personnel are considered "essential employee positions" with the university and are subject to work during emergency incidents and closing of the university or its campuses, in addition to institutional holidays and break periods. A complete loss of communication (phone, internet, etc.) is to be considered a campus emergency. If a regional or large-scale event occurs in which an officer would reasonably believe that their assistance may be needed on campus, the officer should attempt to contact the department. If they cannot reach the department, they should respond to the campus.
