About Us

Administration

Central administration consists of Robert Holt, director of public safety, William Ferguson, associate director of public safety, and Laura Durling, assistant director of public safety. They are responsible for the overall development and implementation of public safety programs.

Our central office is run by an expert team that consists of two administrative assistants. Their responsibilities include coordinating the four operating areas of public safety -- Patrol and Security Services, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, Parking and Traffic Services, and central administration.

Ethics

The staff members of the Office of Public Safety are guided by the following ethical principles:

• We will practice the core values of integrity, respect, fairness, and honesty.
• We will keep confidential sensitive information obtained during the exercise of our activities, except when required by law or where overriding health and safety considerations are present.
• We will treat all persons in a professional and fair manner without discrimination based on race, sex, religion, or sexual preference.
• We will act responsibly to uphold the integrity of our professions.

Communications Center

Communications for the Office of Public Safety is the responsibility of our professionally trained dispatchers and security officers. They handle emergency calls (911), nonemergency calls (274-3333), and walk-in traffic to our office -- located on the north side of campus, just off Coddington Road (see building No. 27 on the campus map). They also dispatch for the Office of Physical Plant during nonbusiness hours.

Telephone, two-way radio, and computer contact are maintained with outside emergency medical services, law enforcement and firefighting agencies, and the College's physical plant office. Assistance and support from these groups are solicited when necessary. If you're not sure whom to call about a particular emergency, health, or safety situation, call the Office of Public Safety and we'll put you in touch with those who can help.
