401 454-6376

30 Waterman Street
open 24 hours/day, 7/week
Patrolling the campus on foot, bicycle and in cruisers, the Department of Public Safety operates around the clock every day to provide service to the RISD community. The department is responsible for campus safety, security, parking, shuttle and escort.

The officers receive annual recertification in first aid and CPR to provide emergency medical care until an ambulance arrives. If appropriate, the officers treat and transport the injured to the on-campus medical facility or local hospital. Several public safety officers are certified Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) offering a higher level of emergency medical assistance.

All officers are undergoing a comprehensive security certification program called Certified Protection Officer (CPO) through the International Protection Officers Foundation. In addition, officers receive monthly in-service training through the Professional Security Television Network (PSTN).

Although Public Safety officers do not have the power of arrest, they have a close working relationship with state and local police. Excellent response and service is provided to RISD from these outside agencies.

All criminal activity should be promptly reported to RISD Department of Public Safety. Complaints are received here in person or over the phone. (See address and phone numbers above.) Located at the entrance to the Quad Residence Halls, the Quad office serves as the dispatching point for the Public Safety Officers.
