ABOUT US
The University Police
Department is an autonomous, fully certified and operational law
enforcement agency that serves New Jersey’s second largest and
fastest growing university. The MSU PD is charged with the
enforcement of all state and local laws, as well as university rules
and regulations. The MSU PD is also responsible for the
implementation of programs and services designed to promote public
safety, crime prevention and community awareness.
The department is
currently staffed by 25 full-time police officers, 4 police
recruits, 10 dispatchers and 1 administrative assistant. MSU
Police Officers are responsible for providing all law enforcement
and emergency services to the campus community. All Police
Officers are trained and certified by the New Jersey State Police
Training Commission and must attend and complete a rigorous basic
training course for police officers at the Passaic County Police
Academy.
The University's main
campus spans through three municipalities and two counties. Our
jurisdiction includes all property the University owns, leases or
otherwise controls and includes all roadways that run through and
are adjacent to the University. Our headquarters is located on Red
Hawk Way, next to the Red Hawk Parking Deck. Our sub-station is
located in the Abbott and Costello Center at The Village at Little
Falls.
MSU Police patrol the
campus and its adjacent areas by means of marked and unmarked police
vehicles, motorcycle, bicycle and foot patrols. Officers respond to
calls for service, criminal investigations, traffic enforcement,
medical emergencies and mutual aid calls with surrounding law
enforcement agencies. Officers also provide and participate in
programs designed to promote safety, crime prevention and victim
awareness and assistance.
In an effort to keep the
University community safe and improve our efficiency, officers
receive continuous year round training. This training includes but
is not limited to: Cultural Diversity, Crime Prevention,
Breathalyzer, Use of Force, Motor Vehicle accident reconstruction,
Insurance Fraud, Drug Identification, Crisis Negotiation, Bias
Crimes Investigation, Domestic Violence, Gang Awareness, Warrant
Preparation and Execution, Firearms Qualification and Narcotics
Enforcement to name a few. Several officers are certified Police
Academy Instructors.
All officers are first
responder trained (first aid, CPR, and Automatic External
Defibrillator, AED). Several officers are fully certified Emergency
Medical Technicians.
