Other Ways We Help Keep Campus Safe
Case Western Reserve University’s Division of Public Safety offers a number of additional prevention and safety services to the campus community.
Bike Registration
Bicycles should be registered to help the department return found or recovered bikes. Registration gets you a sticker to identify the bike along with a FREE U-Lock for undergraduate students. There is no cost for the registration.
How to register:
-
Locate your bike's serial number. Serial numbers are usually a combination of letters and numbers stamped on the bicycle's frame. Most serial numbers are located under the bottom bracket where the two pedal cranks meet.
-
submit a bicycle registration online. Please submit the form before picking up your registration sticker.
-
Visit the Public Safety Headquarters (1689 E. 115th St.) OR go to the Wade or Fribley area offices during normal business hours to pick up your registration sticker and bike lock.
-
Apply the registration sticker to your bicycle.
Bicycle locks are free to undergraduate students. For those purchasing bicycle locks elsewhere, steel “U“ locks are the most effective.
At the end of each academic year, unclaimed/abandoned bikes with no registered are donated to nonprofit boys' and girls' organizations.
Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting services are available for students, faculty and staff. These are often required for clinicals, internships, volunteering in schools, along with professional licenses such as nursing, teaching, legal, social work, dental, medical and more.

The department only accepts payment with credit card or a departmental account number.
