The University Public Safety
Department has three major areas of responsibility:
University Police, Parking, and Environmental Health
and Safety. The University police section provides
law enforcement and security services on university
owned
property. The department's ten sworn police
officers have all have completed municipal police
training and are required to complete mandatory
update training as well as attend
special training
seminars. They are recertified, as required, in
first aid and CPR,
hazmat, blood- borne pathogens,
and C spray.
Police Officers employed at Lock
Haven
University receive their police powers from the
Governor of Pennsylvania and
have full power of
arrest for any violation of law on campus property.
University Police are responsible for enforcing all
Federal, State and Local laws in addition to the
rules and regulations of the University. University
Police are responsible for investigating all reports
of criminal activity on campus and
to coordinate
with other law enforcement agencies as needed.
Officers are armed. The officers must qualify with
their firearms
and auxiliary weapons annually.
Uniformed officers patrol the campus on foot, by
vehicle,
and on bicycles, 24 hours
a day, seven days
a week. The department is also responsible for
parking on campus,
including issuing permits and
enforcing regulations. The Department of Public
Safety works very closely with the surrounding
municipal police departments daily to provide for
a
safe and secure environment throughout the entire
community. We also work with the campus Office of
Judicial Affairs and hold students accountable for
their behavior both on and
off campus.
A full time safety professional also works in the
Public
Safety office and is responsible for ensuring
that proper safety procedures are followed.
Departmental
safety responsibilities include Fire
Safety, Emergency Planning and Preparedness,
Hazardous Material Management, and Occupational
Safety.
A University Safety Committee also addresses
safety concerns.
