Located
at Central Campus, the Public
Safety Department provides police services, medical
and emergency response units, community policing, training,
special services, traffic support and many other services
to the entire Salem State community.
All
officers possess powers, authority, and responsibilities
similar to municipal police officers in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. Our officers attend the MCJTC municipal
police officer training academy.
Beyond
basic training, all officers undergo in-service training
on an annual basis. All have been trained in emergency
medical procedures, first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR). The department currently has four (4) officers
certified as EMT's.
Patrols
are conducted on foot and bicycles, and in vehicles
24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Department
is charged with the responsibility of enforcing all
college rules and regulations as well as the local,
state and federal laws, statutes, and ordinances.
The
Campus Police also work closely with the local and state
police on matters of mutual concern and maintain an
active relationship which includes sharing known and
suspected criminal activity. Suspicious or criminal
activity and other emergencies may be reported directly
by any student, faculty member, employee, guest or visitor
of the college by dialing on-campus 6111 or from off
campus (978)542-6111, by walking into the station, located
on the central campus or by activating one of the emergency
telephones situated on any one of the four campuses.
