Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Public Safety is to develop partnerships with the community we serve, including students, staff and faculty in order to enhance the goal of providing superior higher education in a safe and secure environment.

The department members shall provide quality services to the Rensselaer Community and recognize that we are part of the educational process. Our role in support of the Rensselaer Plan is paramount to the success of each student and their educational aspirations.
