Safety at Ithaca College

The Office of Public Safety (OPS) is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and provides the safety and security services for the College campus -- from patrolling the campus to investigating violations to offering assistance to all students and staff. Public Safety also manages the IC Emergency Notification System and the Blue Light Emergency Telephones (intercom-like phones mounted on poles with a blue light on top), which allow students to contact Public Safety directly by the touch of a button. The staff of the Office of Public Safety is highly trained and is dedicated to their educational and professional mission.
