Highlighting community services this National Police Week

Along with providing 24/7 emergency services, the Purdue University Police Department offers outreach programs and other safety services.

Some of the department’s outreach programs include verbal de-escalation training, active threat training and K-9 demonstrations. Safety services offered include fingerprinting, electronic device registration and the Safe Walk program. Through these programs, the department provides campus community members with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent crime, respond appropriately in emergencies and make informed decisions that contribute to overall safety.

I am ever grateful for all these law enforcement professionals do to serve Purdue University. They provide around-the-clock service to help maintain a safe and secure campus, responding to a wide range of emergency and non-emergency calls. PUPD is integral to safeguarding students, faculty, staff, and visitors, while also fostering relationships within the campus community.

This National Police Week (May 10-16), take the opportunity to thank members of PUPD for supporting and protecting the Boilermaker community.

More information about the services provided by PUPD is available on their website.

Sincerely,
Jay Wasson, Vice President for Physical Facilities and Chief Public Safety Officer
