The Department of Public Safety offers personalized training to the campus community. Our department employs sworn law enforcement officers whose training and certifications typically exceed the requirements set for other departments. Our officers are qualified to share their expertise and knowledge on a variety of topics. The department holds regular learning opportunities in Fitz Hall and can also be scheduled to provide in-person training in buildings on campus including residence halls and in the Student Neighborhood. Our emergency personnel also regularly schedule CPR training during the academic year. You can request specific types of training or more information about training in general by completing the Public Safety Training Request Form.

Public Safety generates community-wide communication related to safety and security. The Clery Act mandates the instances in which the University must issue Emergency Notifications and Timely Warning Notifications (UD's Safety Advisory). Public Safety introduced the Flyer Aware Message in 2017 to offer a form of communication regarding safety and security issues that do not fall within the criteria of the federally mandated messaging.

Our blog focuses on the events and activities of the department plus information related to personal security.
