At SUNY College at Old Westbury, the safety and well being of students, faculty,
staff and visitors is of primary concern. In cooperation with many other campus
departments, we have hundreds of people involved in keeping our campus safe and
secure. However, a truly safe campus can only be achieved through the cooperation
of the entire college community.
The University Police Department at Old Westbury
is committed on a daily basis to providing a safe and healthy educational
environment for commuter and resident
students, as well as the rest of the college community and guests of the
college. Mobile 24-hour patrols of our 604 acre campus, along with foot patrols
among
our many buildings and numerous community policing initiatives, have made
our campus one of the safest in the SUNY system. Working in conjunction with
the
Office of Student Affairs, Office of Residential Life, and the rest of
the community, we strive to provide our students with a home away from home
during
their years at Old Westbury.
The University Police Department has a long history of securing the Campus
but realizes that observations and suggestions from the campus community help
to identify threats to security and aid in the allocation of department resources.
Many times the security concerns, observations and recommendations of community
members can help format the response of the University Police Department and
positively effect efficiency, expedience and our relationship with the college
community we serve.
If you are examining this web site as a prospective employee or student and
have security questions concerning our college, I would be glad to discuss
these issues with you and you should feel free to contact me with your concerns.
All prospective or existing members of our campus community should feel free
to contact me to discuss matters of safety and security at yanniellom@oldwestbury.edu or via phone at 516-876-3146. If there is an immediate need to speak to me
and I am not in the office, notify the desk officer and they will get in touch
with me immediately.
