Public Safety

The Public Safety Department is responsible for enforcing University security regulations, overseeing the University’s risk management policies, and the supervision of campus parking facilities. Our Public Safety team patrols campus on foot and by vehicle. As part of the Student Life Division, the Public Safety Department actively supports the mission of the University and accepts its responsibility to employ security measures that promote the safety and well being of our students. 

Daily Crime and Fire Log Availability

The Manhattan University Daily Crime and Fire Log is available for public review in the public safety office, located in Jasper Hall, Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

The Advisory Committee on Campus Safety will provide upon request all campus crime statistics as reported to the U.S. Department of Education. These are also available by searching for Manhattan University at http://ope.ed.gov/campussafety/#/institution/list. The Director of Public Safety is authorized to provide these statistics and can be contacted at 718-862-7240.

The Department of Public Safety has introduced JASPER SAFE, a community safety program designed to enhance security both on campus and in the surrounding areas. JASPER SAFE is a partnership with our local neighborhood businesses to provide a safe haven for students, faculty and staff in the event they feel unsafe at any particular time. Individuals who see a business with a JASPER SAFE sticker in the entryway will know that this business is a member of this partnership.
