The City College Department of Public Safety is here to ensure the safety and security of the entire college community. We are here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  We patrol the campus and surrounding area in marked vehicles, by staffing fixed posts, by monitoring closed circuit television cameras, by performing escorts and other protective measures. The Department of Public Safety employs highly trained, full time Peace Officers and Security Guards. We maintain close ties with the New York City Police Department; we are in regular contact with the local precincts where incidents are reviewed and deployment is analyzed in order to better serve the College.

CUNY ALERT SYSTEM
 

We advise our community of crime trends and other safety issues via emails, by posting alerts on this web page and by using CUNYAlert, a mass notification system that enables the University to advise students, faculty and staff of an emergency situation such as school closings due to severe weather, in a timely fashion to protect lives and minimize campus disruption. Depending upon the severity of the incident, CUNY Alert messages can range from specific instructions to general warnings.  These notifications will be sent to those who have signed up via their cell phones (text or voice messages), landline telephone and/or e-mail. Students choose how they wish to receive messages once they “opt” in the system.

FREE COLLEGE SHUTTLE

There is a free College Shuttle Service that loops around the campus. It also goes to the nearest subway stations. For exact stops and times, visit http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/safety/subway.cfm.

Students can reach us 24 hours a day at (212) 650-6911.  FOR EMERGENCIES (212) 650-7777.
