Department of Public Safety

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is a full service law enforcement agency providing safety, security, and enforcement services to the university community. Its mission is promoting a safe environment through student and staff interaction with emphasis on integrity, fairness, and professionalism. The mission also embraces the University’s vision of enhancing humankind through the assurance of a quality University life in a stable environment, where security is balanced with freedom of movement and individual rights balanced with community needs.  As a service entity, police officers safeguard lives and property, preserve the peace, and prevent crime through enforcement of all federal and state laws, city ordinances, as well as university rules and regulations falling under its jurisdiction.

The department offers engraving services on personal items (Operation ID) to assist in identifying items that may be stolen. Also, crime prevention seminars are presented to new student and new employee orientation sessions, and, upon request, to campus groups and organizations.
