In the unfortunate event that your vehicle becomes disabled while on La Salle property, it is crucial to report the situation immediately to the Public Safety Headquarters. This is important because:

• If your vehicle needs to be moved, the officers will determine if it poses a hazard & may assist in coordinating its removal. Flashing lights or notes are simply not enough to notify Public Safety, so always prioritize direct contact with them. For more on this process, please see the Rules and Regulations section.
