Safety and Security

Staff

The Safety and Security Department offices, located at 2500 New Hackensack Road, are open weekdays from 8:30am to 4:30pm; however, a security officer stationed at the Campus Response Center located in Main Building is available 24 hours a day, and uniformed security officers provide around-the-clock protection and services for the campus community.

The Safety and Security Department, which reports to the Dean of Student Living and Wellness, consists of a director, an associate director, four sergeants, and 24 full-time, certified security officers. Although they are not police officers, they do have powers of arrest as agents of the college. Uniformed security officers patrol the grounds to enforce state and local statutes as well as college rules and regulations. The Safety and Security Department enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department, an agency of some 70 fulltime officers.
