Public Safety

University Public Safety is committed to ensuring a safe environment for everyone at Rutgers. Public Safety is responsible for responding to all emergencies, suspicious activities, crimes and safety concerns. Their goal is to work in partnership with students, faculty and staff to provide a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling university experience.

Campus safety is of paramount importance, but security depends on everyone knowing what to do in case of an emergency. To view the University's Emergency Action Plans, please visit http://emergency.rutgers.edu.
