The Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ Campus Police is a dually accredited law enforcement agency, with accreditations from both the Rhode Island Police Accreditation Commission (RIPAC) and the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®). Additionally, for our commitment to digital prevention programs related to student safety, well-being, and community, we recently received a Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention.
The Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ Campus Police ensure your safety 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our kind and approachable officers walk the campus and staff the police office to be readily available to anyone needing assistance. We even have a Campus Police K-9, a comfort dog named Elvy, to help put our students at ease. Have any questions for us?

All of our residence halls are equipped with:
To further ensure the safety of our student residents, we are currently conducting a full assessment of residence hall safety measures. With building and safety standards ever evolving, we ensure that our safety procedures are continually evaluated and improved. Beyond our residence halls, we are also updating our entire College Emergency Operations Plan while performing a Security Operations Assessment of the campus.
We have 50+ outdoor blue light emergency phones on campus - on or near the exterior of all residence halls and most college buildings, in our parking lots, and along campus walkways. These phones have a direct speed calling button with an automatic identifier so that the Campus Police Dispatch immediately knows the emergency location. Our campus surveillance cameras, recently upgraded and covering a broader expanse of key campus locations, also give our students added safety assurance. With so many preventative measures in place, we were recently awarded a Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention.
"The philosophy of the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ Campus Police is simple: provide a secure and welcoming environment so that our campus community members can grow and thrive in their personal and professional lives."

With our campus straddling Providence and North Providence neighborhoods, our officers continually collaborate with and benefit from the added support of the Providence and North Providence Police Departments.
Our Campus Police have designated a 24 hours a day, seven days a week area for members of our campus community to safely meet with individuals for online business transactions. Knowing that e-commerce has increased in popularity – we want to make sure to meet our students where they're at.
Our philosophy is simple: provide a secure and welcoming environment so that our campus community members can grow and thrive in their personal and professional lives.
