<strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> Department of Public Safety<br />

The <strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> Department of Public Safety provides law enforcement and security services to the<br />

<strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> community.<br />

The department is comprised of state certified and sheriff certified police officers as well as public safety<br />

officers. The department also supplements staffing with contract security.<br />

<strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> police officers are empowered under the State of Massachusetts General Laws, MGL Chapter<br />

22 Section 63. Police officers have full police authority on <strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> property granted to any law<br />

enforcement officer, including the authority to make arrests. Police jurisdiction includes property owned by,<br />

or under the control of, <strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

The department also works closely with the local police in all of our campus communities when there is a<br />

crime on campus.<br />

In addition, the department has radio communications with the Boston Police to provide real time communication.<br />

The Boston Police respond to the campus when needed and the <strong>College</strong> has an understanding relative to<br />

critical incident response.<br />

<strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> police officers have been trained by members of the Boston Police Academy staff relative to<br />

the protocol, tactics and procedures for critical incidents.<br />

The <strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> Department of Public Safety does not currently have a Memorandum of Understanding<br />

with Boston, New Bedford, Brockton, or North Attleboro Police pertaining to the investigation of criminal<br />

incidents. <strong>Fisher</strong> <strong>College</strong> does not have any recognized student organizations that have off-campus student<br />

housing facilities.<br />
