The department of Public Safety is a private security organization. Enforcement Authority is granted by the University. All Officers complete requirements of the California Department of Consumer Affairs and are licensed guards.
Arrest authority is that of a civilian arrest.
We encourage timely reporting of crime to all appropriate agencies at Federal, state and local levels. The campus Welcome Center is also similarly staffed. The community service officers take incident, crime, and accident reports and enforce the campus parking and traffic regulations. They also respond to campus emergencies, enforce the University's policies, and secure the campus buildings. The campus of Point Loma Nazarene University is situated in a quiet, natural setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
