Delaware State University’s Office of Public Safety provides for the safety of its students, faculty, and staff. To do this, the University has created a comprehensive, three-tiered security system:

• A fully certified police department, including 18 licensed law enforcement officers with all the powers of any municipal law enforcement agency.
   
• A fully staffed security force that provides around-the-clock coverage of the 400-acre campus.
   
• A group of 20-plus Student Cadets, which provides evening escorts, assistance with university events, and extra security within the student population.

University police and security at the following numbers:

• Telephone: (302) 857-6290
• On-Campus Emergency 4444
• 24-hour Dispatch: (302) 857-6290

If students need to file formal complaints, they may do so using our complaint form.

Public Safety also keeps comprehensive records on all law enforcement/security activities and actions, in accordance with the Clery Act federal law.
