Crime Prevention and Awareness
Representatives of the University join together to provide information and advice to students, parents, and employees, allowing them to become familiar with the Department of Public Safety and Transportation and to address concerns and questions.
Adelphi Public Safety Officers are trained to investigate most crimes, however, the local police department will typically be contacted for crimes of a more serious nature. Adelphi University Public Safety Officers on the Garden City campus are accessible to students 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
Campus Safety and Collaboration
SECTION 6431 of NYS Education Law 129-AÂ requires a committee of appointed student, faculty and staff members to review campus security policies and procedures. The committee will review policies and procedures at least (1) time per year and make recommendations for their improvement. The committee shall review:
- Policies for campus response to sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking and hate crimes.
- Procedures for referrals to appropriate authorities.
- Policies for educating the campus community about safety and crime.
For more information about the Advisory Committee on Campus Security, please contact titleix@adelphi.edu.
Learn how the university supports a safe and respectful environment for our community to express their views through demonstrations and protests. This includes information on our Campus Protest and Free Speech Policy, our Demonstration Policy, as well as the protocols in place to ensure these events are conducted safely, as outlined in the Emergency Operations Plan.

Public Safety staff go to individual residence halls each semester to discuss security and safety issues concerning the residents. The Residential Life and Housing staff periodically conduct their own basic crime prevention discussions in their residence halls. To enhance our safety initiatives, we also have the Team Up For Safety program to promote community collaboration.Â
