The Department of Public Safety at Columbia University is committed to the safety and well-being of the University community - and it shows. We consistently score high marks in campus safety and were named one of the safest urban schools in the U.S. Our two Operations Centers, one on the Morningside campus and one on the Medical campus, are staffed and operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Th
rough these centers, we coordinate campus and neighborhood patrols, arrange guard services, and respond to calls for assistance. We work closely with the NYPD and FDNY, along with other neighborhood partners, to safeguard the campus. Our Public Safety professionals keep abreast of best practices, trends in national campus issues, and are well trained.
