Public Safety

The mission of the Albertus Magnus College Department of Public Safety is to provide a safe and secure environment by protecting the well-being of all community members. For this purpose, the Department of Public Safety is service oriented to meet the specialized needs of the campus community. Duties include, but are not limited to: detecting potential crimes of opportunity; maintaining a proactive approach to deterring crime by emphasizing highly visible patrols; identification and elimination of all hazardous conditions; public interaction and community awareness of security related issues; and the enforcement of traffic and parking rules and regulations.  The Department of Public Safety is supportive of the College's mission statement in that it..."remains dedicated to providing an opportunity for learning which responds to the academic needs and ethical challenges of its students and society."

LiveSafe

Albertus Magnus College monitors LiveSafe, which is a free security app that is available to all campus community members. LiveSafe allows the community the ability to connect with Public Safety through the app – report suspicious activity with photos/videos, request a virtual escort, find directions on campus, and report emergencies. We encourage all College community members to download and set up the LiveSafe app, available in your app store.

The College has a strong partnership with the City of New Haven Police Department (NHPD). Often, the College has a NHPD Officer on campus to work alongside Public Safety. The Police Officer is here to serve as both a crime deterrent and community partner.

Community members may request safety escorts by contacting Public Safety.
