Campus Security
Campus Security is located on the second floor of Broyhill Hall and can be reached anytime by calling (919) 291-1903.
The Department of Campus Security exists to maintain a safe and secure campus environment and to protect the institution’s assets in order to facilitate Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary’s mission. To meet this mission, we employ Security Officers to monitor our campus 24 hours a day and 365 days of the year, including nights, weekends and holidays. Campus Security also works closely with the Wake Forest Police Department, the Wake Forest Fire Department and Wake County EMS to ensure fast responses to any needs or emergencies that might arise on Southeastern’s campus.
The Director of Campus Security is Dr. Michael Lawson. Dr. Lawson came to Southeastern from a background in law enforcement. He was a Deputy Sheriff in South Carolina before being hired as a Special Agent with the U.S. Secret Service. He also served in the US Army Reserves as a Chemical Officer. Currently, in addition to being the Director of Campus Security, Dr. Lawson serves as a Chaplain for the Wake Forest Police Department and an Auxiliary Police Officer. For over a decade now, Dr. Lawson has also served on the Wake Forest Tactical Service Unit as a Master SWAT Operator and most recently, as a sniper on the team.
