The last portion of the ramp is down! What a difference.
Good luck to Officers Barber and Rhyans who recently began attending the NYS Basic Peace Officer Academy. They, along with several other officers from local agencies will be covering a variety of police related topics such as use of force, various laws, powers of arrest, and much more! Once completed, they will be fully certified Peace Officers!

Only a few more weeks and the parking ramp will no longer be around!
With the ongoing demolition of the parking garage on Jefferson Avenue, there will be some spillover by the construction crews and vehicles into the surrounding streets that will impact the normal flow of traffic in certain areas around the campus. In the days ahead, we expect some barriers and detours to be established and the following changes to occur:
Traffic changes on Jefferson Avenue:
Vehicular traffic on Jefferson between Blaine and Delavan will be one-lane in each direction.
Pedestrians will need to use the sidewalk on the east side of Delavan (closest to the houses) to get to and from Health Science and the Koessler Athletic Center.
Traffic changes on Delavan Avenue:
Vehicular traffic on Delavan between Jefferson and the NFTA station will be one-lane in each direction.
Pedestrians need to use the sidewalk on the south side of Delavan (closest to Health Science) to get to Health Science and the Koessler Athletic Center.
Westbound traffic on Delavan will not be able to turn onto Spillman and the Koessler Athletic Center Upper Lot. Refer to the directions below.
To access the Spillman Lot and the Rear Health Science Lot:
Heading south on Main Street: Proceed to Florida Street (just passed the Koessler Athletic Center), turn left onto Florida Street, turn left onto Spillman, and turn right into the lot.
Heading south on Jefferson Avenue: Proceed to Florida Street, turn right onto Florida Street, turn right onto Spillman, and turn right into the lot.
To access the Koessler Upper Lot and the Health Science Lot:
Heading south on Main Street: Proceed to Delavan Avenue, turn left onto Delavan, turn right into the KAC driveway, turn right into the Koessler Athletic Center Upper Lot or turn left into the Health Science Lot.
Heading south on Jefferson Avenue: Proceed to Florida Street, turn right onto Florida Street, turn right onto Spillman, turn left into the Health Science Lot and proceed to the Koessler Athletic Center Upper Lot.
Whether walking or driving, please adhere to all directional signage for your safety.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the construction.
Welcome to the freshman class of 2026! Enjoy your time here, it will go by quickly!
The ramp is nearly down and is expected to be completely down in the next few weeks. The surface lot is expected to be in place by October.
A few more pictures of the ramp coming down. Progress is being made!
Progress continues on the ramp demolition project.
Here are a few pictures of the ramp demolition project.
Please be aware that demolition has begun on the Science Hall parking ramp. Please use extra caution around the area as it is a construction zone.
Congratulations to Officer Westhoven (pictured in the front row, far right) and the other Officers from the surrounding police agencies for completing the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training sponsored by Crisis Services. These officers are now certified CIT Officers.
Canisius Public Safety extends our heartfelt condolences to the Rochester Police Department and to the family and friends of the officer whose life was taken too soon. Rest In Peace Officer Mazurkiewicz and a speedy recovery to Officer Seng.
Memorial Day, the holiday that takes place annually on the last Monday in May, is a dedicated day for honoring U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. Over 1.3 Million Americans paid the ultimate sacrifice to afford us the freedoms we take for granted every day. Thank you to all those soldiers that sacrificed so much so that we could enjoy the freedoms that we have.

Congratulations to all the graduate students who received their Masters Degrees tonight on a job well done!!
Just as a reminder that due to Commencement activities this weekend, the Upper Koessler Athletic Center parking lot will be closed starting tonight. It will reopen on Monday, May 23rd.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of today's tragedy as well as their family and friends.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, DC to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The Memorial Service began in 1982 as a gathering in Senate Park of approximately 120 survivors and supporters of law enforcement. Decades later, the event, more commonly known as National Police Week, has grown to a series of events which attracts thousands of survivors and law enforcement officers to our Nation's Capital each year.
The National Peace Officers Memorial Service, which is sponsored by the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, is one in a series of events which includes the Candlelight Vigil, which is sponsored by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) and seminars sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)
National Police Week draws in between 25,000 to 40,000 attendees. The attendees come from departments throughout the United States as well as from agencies throughout the world. This provides a unique opportunity to meet others who work in law enforcement. In that spirit, the Fraternal Order of Police DC Lodge #1 sponsors receptions each afternoon and evening during Police Week. These events are open to all law enforcement personnel and are an experience unlike any other.
Students good luck on your finals this week. Seniors, you're almost at the end of your undergrad career. Enjoy your last few weeks at Canisius!
Thank you to Officer Williams, pictured in front, who bought some of our students ice cream today!

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
Students, welcome back for the spring semester! Seniors, you’re almost there before you know it you’ll be finishing the last classes of your undergraduate career. Make the most of this semester, responsibly of course. Remember all the Covid protocols that are in place. Everyone, stay safe.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Canisius Public Safety!!!
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
Thank you to all our Veterans for their dedication and sacrifice for our country. Your bravery and selflessness do not go unnoticed.
