Public Safety and Service provides security and services to all members of the college community, including its visitors and guests, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The department's full-time members are trained professionals. Each member of the department is certified annually in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first-aid techniques and first-responder skills. Each also attends a training session on civil rights and diversity, and four department members have been certified by the state as sexual assault investigators.

The department maintains close working relationships with the town of South Hadley, the Massachusetts State Police and the Northwestern District Attorney's office.

Safety and security is a shared responsibility. If you have any concerns about safety on your campus, please do not hesitate to contact us.
