Campus Safety
Most parents today are concerned about the safety of their children when they are away from home. Likewise, those students who commute to our campus, our faculty, administrators and staff also want a safe and secure learning and working environment. Central Connecticut State University understands these concerns and is proud of its record in ensuring that people enjoy their time at CCSU as free as possible from threats to their safety and well-being. In 1999 CCSU’s Police Department became the first university police department in Connecticut, and only the second in New England to achieve international recognition as an accredited police department. Within Connecticut, the Connecticut State Police, the UCONN Police and ten municipal police departments share this distinction.
