The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is dedicated to providing the safest possible learning, living, and working environment for members of our university community and their families. As USU is an open campus, we provide the same focus to all those that visit our beautiful campuses. We do this through the coordinated efforts of three branches: USU Police, Emergency Management, and Fire Marshal.
As times change, so too do the threats that face us as a community. Addressing these threats requires that everyone take ownership for overall safety. The Department of Public Safety provides education and resources so we all can understand potential risks and be prepared and empowered to deal with them. If you see something that is wrong or not in keeping with university standards of conduct, please say something.
Our department has a commitment to transparency and open communication with those we serve. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, concerns, or needs, no matter how large or small. We look forward to hearing from you!
