The Safety and Security Department is responsible to the Vice-president for Administrative Services.
Officers provide parking enforcement and crowd control at special events.
Certain officers also received additional training in emergency medical care as either Kansas certified First Responders or EMT's. All officers are required to have previous public safety experience. All officers receive three hours of in-service training each month. Although Safety and Security officers do not have the powers of arrest, all criminal incidents and accidents are investigated by the Safety and Security Department, which maintains a cooperative relationship with all local, state and federal public safety agencies. In addition to accident and criminal investigations, this cooperation includes training programs and special events coordination.
