DPS

DPS employs 64 sworn Public Safety Officers and 15 supporting Community Services Officers who are stationed around campus and patrol the surrounding community, and 84 Residential Community Safety Officers stationed in all residence halls on campus. Public Safety Officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the DPS emergency call center, which is staffed with 11 APCO certified public safety dispatchers, is also available around the clock to address our community's safety and security needs. The dispatchers are required to successfully complete a 12-week training program to further enhance their abilities to handle the specific needs of the university community... The Department of Public Safety works to maintain a safe, secure learning and living environment on the Syracuse University campus and in the surrounding campus areas.
