Public Safety

As guardians of the campus, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) provides the highest quality of public safety and supports PLNU’s Mission by fostering a safe learning, working, and living environment. Our service to students, staff, faculty, and guests is an expression of our faith.

The Department of Public Safety operates 24 hours a day. It is made up of a Director, an Assistant Director, Supervisors, Public Safety Officers, Community Service Officers (CSOs), and Dispatchers. Students have the opportunity to work as CSOs and Dispatchers. All Public Safety Officers are licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services and are trained in CPR/First Aid. DPS derives its enforcement authority from the PLNU Board of Trustees.
