Campus Safety & Security Director

Letter from the Director

The Safety and Security Department is a full time twenty-four hour and three hundred sixty-five days a year operation. Our goal is provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors to live, work and study. The Safety and Security staff is trained to many types of situations including emergencies such as fire, medical illness and injuries, and criminal activity.  We work closely with local law enforcement, fire department and EMS personnel.

All security officers are NYS licensed and trained according to state standards. In addition, the staff receives training in basic first aid, conflict management techniques, first responders for mental health concerns and violations of rules and laws.

In addition, we directly act upon our motto of serve, guide and protect:

Serve – escorts, unlocks, jump starts, investigate.
Guide – direct proper behavior, educate to rules and laws.
Protect – check suspicious persons and behavior.

My commitment to this campus is to provide expert security services in a professional and ethical manner.
