The Law Enforcement Unit of the Police and Public Safety Department is a team of professionals working to provide a safe environment in which the educational mission of the College can be fully realized.  The Police and Public Safety Department is service-oriented and tailored to meet the needs of a large urban-centered institution.

We provide crime prevention and control, criminal investigations, traffic and parking supervision, physical plant security, emergency first-aid treatment, disaster coordination, the maintenance of public order and other related services.  The officers of the department are responsible for the enforcement of all state and local laws.  The department's ability to function as an independent law enforcement agency enables it to provide a sensitive, measured approach to all situations requiring police assistance while still maintaining the autonomy of the College.
