Surveillance

The Department of Public Safety is charged to ensure the safety of the campus, minimize crime or other behavioral problems, and maintain an appropriate academic and residential environment. In doing so, Public Safety provides a wide array of services that go beyond the traditional or minimal roles of a security force. Public Safety is authorized to monitor, prevent, investigate, and report any violations of state or federal law and/or University regulations or standards of conduct on campus.

Fairfield's campus is patrolled regularly by uniformed officers. In addition, the campus is monitored by a closed-circuit television/camera system, which is regularly displayed on campus television. If necessary, the director of public safety and vice president for student affairs may authorize the use of plain-clothes officers for crime prevention or investigation. Such cases must be serious and warrant such action.
