The department has one full-time director, two full-time staff members and three part-time student officers. Staff is on duty 24 hours a day throughout the year to guard against and investigate person or property crimes, eliminate or alleviate dangerous situations, to provide escort services, investigate reports of lost property, safeguard and return found items, assist motorists with vehicle problems, issue vehicle parking permits, and enforce the parking regulations of the University.
The Public Safety Department uses an access control system to monitor and control different levels of access to buildings at various times of day. Although not a primary mission of the department, department staff will often assist students and faculty who have forgotten their keys or access cards.
The Department publishes three brochures for your information. As required by law, campus crime statistics are published in a brochure entitled “Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act Information” (PDF). An “Emergency Procedures Manual” covers such topics as keeping safe at work, crime prevention tips, serious injury/illness procedures, fire and evacuation procedures, and tips on what to do during an earthquake, power outage, when a fire alarm sounds, etc. “First Aid Information” is the third brochure available from the Public Safety Department. It covers emergency numbers, resuscitation, and what to do if you find someone who is unconscious, having a heart attack or seizure, is choking or bleeding, etc. These brochures are available at the Public Safety Offices, Student Services Office, or in the University’s Business Office.
