Safety & Security

Welcome to the SUNY Sullivan Office of Public Safety. Safety is a top priority at the college, and we’re here to help make your time on campus a safe and enjoyable one.

The college has a variety of measures in place to ensure the well-being of the entire campus community.  SUNY Sullivan currently utilizes a team of experienced peace officers, private security guards and local law enforcement. Both the director and assistant director of the office of public safety are designated peace officers who, according to New York State law, have the power to carry firearms, investigate incidents and make arrests on campus. 

SUNY Sullivan also works with a private company to provide enhanced security services on campus and at the residence hall. During special events, additional security personnel are added as needed. In 2006, the college launched a “Deputy on Campus” program in conjunction with the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office. Through this cooperative effort, uniformed deputies work closely with our peace officers and private security force to patrol campus, maintain the peace and help prevent crime.

The Office of Public safety, along with our students, faculty, staff and visitors, have a shared responsibility for making the college a safe place to learn and socialize. There is much you can do to help maintain a positive environment on campus.
