PUBLIC SAFETY AND PARKING

The Department of Public Safety, located on the Lower Level of the WSHU Broadcast Center, is committed to fostering an environment in which all those who live, study, work, or visit within the University campus are able to do so in a safe and secure environment. The department is committed to providing professional, timely, and efficient public safety services to all of its constituents on a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week basis.

Public Safety officers patrol the buildings and grounds of the University via vehicle, bicycle, and foot. Services provided by the department include personal safety escorts, motor vehicle assistance, jump-starts, and training, as well as maintaining a lost-and-found department. Public Safety enforces parking and traffic regulations, provides key control and locksmith services, and investigates and documents incidents on campus. Public Safety is the emergency response department on campus and acts as the liaison with the local police, fire, and ambulance services.

All vehicles parked on the campus must display a University decal or visitor parking pass. Parking permits are available from and distributed by the Public Safety Parking Office in the Main Academic Building. Visitor parking passes weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. can be obtained at the security booth. Students, faculty and staff can apply online through the parking portal on the Public Safety website. For any parking questions email: parkinginfo@sacredheart.edu or visit the Public Safety website for general information.
