Security on Campus
The safety of the Hofstra community and the 244-acre campus is the Department of Public Safety’s highest priority. Through our partnership with students, faculty, and staff, we are able to maintain a campus that is safe and conducive to learning. In addition to maintaining campus safety, Public Safety officers assist students 24 hours a day with a variety of situations, from car problems to room lockouts. They are always on standby for our students. The Public Safety administrative staff and officers are among the best in their field. All Public Safety officers are licensed by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Public Safety officers receive extensive training in preparation for their role. All officers are New York state-certified first responders and are certified in CPR.
