The department has jurisdiction over the 1,100 acre campus and its 109 buildings. While officers are not specifically assigned to residence halls, those halls are part of regular campus patrols.
Trained officers are available to respond and assist around the clock throughout the year.
Once appointed, every officer attends a New York State certified academy for basic police training. The University Police have a mutual aid agreement with the Suffolk County Police Department and a close working relationship with the New York State Police. Resources and crime information are routinely shared among these agencies. The Department has two specialized patrol units to supplement the normal foot and vehicle patrol force. Please visit the following web pages for information about the units and safety tips on bike and motorcycle operation.
