Public Safety Officers

As one of the most visible components of the police department, public safety officers have frequent interaction with the public. Their public relations skills extend from assisting tour groups in the libraries and museums to providing directions and information to students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus.

The daily responsibilities of the guard force include the patrol of the parking lots around campus as well as the staffing of fixed posts. Here they are responsible for the prevention of theft and damage to university and personal property.

Their contribution to the success of law enforcement efforts on the campus is unquestionable. They carry no weapons and have no police arrest authority, but their observation skills and subsequent reports of suspicious activity often lead to the apprehension of violators.
