Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Department of Public Safety’s primary role at St. John’s University is to act as a deterrent to crime. Many of the Public Safety officers are former law enforcement officers. Their arrest authority is equivalent to that of any other citizen. Public Safety officers do have the right to detain an individual until the police arrive to make a formal arrest. Public Safety’s job is to regularly patrol the campus, especially the dimly lit areas. Most students would agree that Public Safety is always on the lookout, and the officers are very visible on campus. In areas where Public Safety may not be, there are distress towers that can be activated to call them to the area immediately.

The University is extremely secure, and Public Safety has done a great job of keeping the campus secure without being too intrusive. Security has become one of St. John’s top priorities, and it definitely shows. Although they can become caught up in minuscule events, the Department of Public Safety is one of the University's strong points.

Safety on Campus

Gated community and very safe. Sometimes security will be more strict than they need to be.

St.Johns University

St.Johns University has a team of well dedicated and well trained/experienced Public Safety officers who enforce campus rules and policies when necessary. It is a great feeling to have that if anything should go wrong on campus, there is a patrol right around the corner.

Safety

The campus is relatively safe during the day but at night, it gets dangerous. The relative location of the school has something to do with it but there was an attack on campus. I never see any police or security walking around on campus during the day. They drive by in their cars but I feel safer with them walking around with us instead of trying to run us over.
