The Department of Public Safety is comprised of Police Operations, Transportation, Parking and Traffic Management.

The Department of Public Safety was created as a result of authority legislated to the College by the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  This authority includes the responsibility to protect the lives and property in and around Salem State College. 

The College is a large and complex environment.   Ensuring the safety of community members requires a well trained dedicated staff that is sensitive to the diverse needs of all.   When addressing the issues that challenge a college community, I encourage a comprehensive approach.  The department provides services that actively pursue the involvement of student and staff members.

Please be assured that campus safety is the ultimate goal of all the department's efforts.  We aspire to provide resources to prevent crime, to proactively develop community partnerships and to provide services to the College that promote that ultimate goal of campus safety. The Department welcomes your participation and encourages you to become involved in the function of a secure campus.
