The University Department of Public Safety and Transportation, located on the lower level of Levermore Hall and in the Security Booth in front of Levermore Hall, provides Public Safety services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The department consists of an executive director, an associate director, assistant director, manager of transportation and parking services, one captain, three lieutenants, four sergeants, one crime prevention officer, and 26 carefully selected and trained male and female officers, many of whom have law enforcement backgrounds. Public Safety Officers provide vehicle and foot patrol of the entire campus, parking lots, buildings, and residence halls; protect life and property; in concert with Health Services insure that those sick or injured receive prompt medical treatment; respond to and investigate reports of crime; enforce traffic regulations, and conduct crime-prevention programs and seminars.
The Public Safety Department maintains a close working relationship with the Garden City, Hempstead, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the New York City Police Departments, all of whom provide police, criminal investigation, and emergency services. Although Adelphi Public Safety Officers are not peace officers, they do provide crime-scene services pending the response of the law enforcement agency concerned. |
