The Office of Public Safety and Transportation operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A public safety supervisor is always present on campus. Our mission is to protect lives and
property, maintain order, prevent crimes, receive and investigate reports of crimes, and provide
other law-enforcement services. In addition, the department is responsive to the special needs
of the large and diverse community of people from all over the United States and the world
which studies and works at Adelphi. Public Safety Officers patrol the entire campus by vehicle,
foot and bike, including parking lots, buildings and residence halls.
Several members of the Office of Public Safety and Transportation are former law enforcement
officers, trained in police procedures, investigative techniques, and New York State law. Serious
incidents should be reported, not only to the Office of Public Safety and Transportation, but also
to the Garden City Police Department. The sooner a crime is reported, the better the chance of
the criminal being caught. If you do not wish to file an official police report, you may still provide
information that could help in an arrest and prevention of another crime.
The Office of Public Safety and Transportation takes all reports of crime seriously, including
sexual assault, bias crime, domestic violence and stalking.

and guidelines to report any incidents, see the University brochures which are available
in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, the Garden City Office of Public Safety and
Transportation, and in the administration office at all other Adelphi centers.
The Office of Public Safety and Transportation publishes safe-campus flyers and holds crime
prevention seminars. Students and employees should look for announcements of these seminars
in the student newspaper and on bulletin boards. In addition, the Office of Public Safety and
Transportation maintains statistics of crimes reported.

Colleges and universities are required under federal law to publish and make available an annual
campus security report, which includes, among other information, statistics on campus crime. The
crime statistics for all colleges and universities required to comply with this law are available from
the United States Department of Education.
Adelphi University’s annual security report includes statistics from the previous three years
concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property
owned or controlled by Adelphi University; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent
to and accessible from, the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning
