Campus Safety

The Department of Public Safety staff is here to help make your time on campus a pleasant one. We endeavor to do all that is possible to build an environment that promotes a feeling of safety and security. Our Police officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They provide any police related service needed on campus. The police officers are backed up by a security staff of over 60 people. Their job is to assure the physical safety of university buildings and occupants. They do so by alarm monitoring and response, access control, high visibility patrol of work spaces and parking area and after dark escorts to those who request it.
