Round-the-Clock Patrols

The Department of Public Safety provides all police-related services needed on the University of Utah campus, which spans over 1800 acres.  Our officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help safeguard the U community of close to 50,000 people.

A Staff of 60+ to Safeguard Your Security

Police officers on campus are backed up by a security staff of over 60 people to help assure the physical safety of all university buildings and occupants.  The security team monitors and responds to alarms, provides secure building access, patrols work spaces and parking areas, and provides after-dark security escorts on request.
