Public Safety
The mini传媒 Public Safety Department has a well鈥搕rained and courteous non鈥揷ommissioned staff, which provides personal safety, security, crime prevention, preliminary investigations, and other services to the campus community.
The staff is comprised of the Director, Sergeant, Emergency Communications Officer, seven full鈥搕ime Officers and two part鈥搕ime Officers. All of the staff has received training in basic CPR and emergency response for major incidents.

The department responds to all reports of fire and/or medical aid working in support of the mini传媒 Fire Department.
What We Do
The mini传媒 Public Safety Officers do not have arrest authority, but they work closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Public Safety Officers have the authority to ask persons for identification and determine if the individual has lawful business on Campus property.
The Public Safety Department maintains a professional working relationship with the mini传媒 Police Department (SPD), which has jurisdiction on the Campus; all criminal incidents are referred to the mini传媒 Police Department for investigations and follow鈥搖p. All crime victims and witnesses are strongly encouraged to immediately report any crime to mini传媒 Security Department and the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Prompt reporting will assure timely warning notices on鈥揷ampus and timely disclosure of crime statistics.
