A Secure and Safe Campus Community Public Safety at the University of New Haven

The Department of Public Safety employs comprehensive safety and security measures and programs to help ensure the well-being of the University community. From a sworn police force on duty 24/7, to fire safety, to environmental health and safety, and a varity of safety apps and reporting options, you can feel confident on our campuses.


Dedicated to Serve and Protect

The University of New Haven Police Department is the first at a private college or university in the state to earn Tier I and Tier II accreditation from the State of Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training Council. Only one-third of the police departments in Connecticut are accredited.

Accreditation reassures students, their families, faculty, and staff of the high quality of the department. It is also important because the department serves as a model for students at the University's distinguished Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences.

Accredited law enforcement agencies demonstrate excellence in management and service delivery, and earning this distinction is a testament to the department’s leadership and all of the University’s dedicated officers, who work tirelessly to keep our campus community safe.
