Saint Peter’s University Office of Campus Safety is responsible for the safety and security of our campus communities. This is accomplished through a pro-active approach, which includes, state of the art security technologies, proactive security patrols, building security utilizing proven “target hardening” techniques, establishing partnerships with our local police, fire, and EMS personnel, and the establishment of a “See Something – Say Something” University culture.

The Office of Campus Safety provides 24 hour 365 day protection of our campus community and structures. The department is comprised of the Director of Campus Safety, Assistant Director, Two Shift Managers, Operations Manager, Supervisory Officers and a force of approximately 75 Security Officers who staff many of our facilities 24 hours a day.

The department utilizes high tech surveillance and security technologies to enhance the roving foot patrols, bicycle and vehicle patrols. These technologies include over 300 CCTV Cameras that are monitored 24/7 by officers assigned to camera watch. The University utilizes the Honeywell Prowatch system, which includes OneCard proximity card readers on all exterior doors, panic alarms, intrusion alarms and fire alarm systems. All of our residential halls are equipped with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as wet pipe sprinkler systems, standpipes and fire extinguishers in key locations on every floor.
