                  Department of Public Safety - Investigations and Technology

 

 

The mission of the investigations office is to review and follow up on every incident to ensure

that all reasonable actions have been taken to resolve the matter.  We provide a caring

nurturing environment to victims and witnesses.  Although many complaints are not criminal

in nature, the investigations office will work with you to resolve even a minor complaint or problem.

 

The investigations office is assisted at various phases of an investigation by other members in

the Department. Investigations proceed under the direction of the Director.  Incidents are

reviewed and a course of action is determined.  Contact with the victim is made and, if warranted,

an investigation is launched.  Law enforcement agencies are informed, and assistance is rendered

when appropriate.  Victims and Witnesses are afforded assistance, including accompanying

them through the entire court process, when appropriate.  Confidential reports are prepared to

document the findings of these investigations.

 

The Technology office assists members of the University in identifying programs and products

that will enhance the safety of students, staff, faculty and visitors.  Additionally, the

technology office will assist in the development and installation of products designed to protect

the physical assets of the University.

 

The technology office also manages the ID card access program.  This office, located in room

111A Low Library, will provide authorized members of the community.  The ability to swipe
