The Saint Louis University Department of Public Safety (DPS) serves the University community by providing a safe and secure environment that fosters trust, equity, and accountability. DPS is committed to proactive and thoughtful relationship building that promotes the safety and well-being of all who learn, work and live in the SLU community.
Our officers are each armed and licensed by the St. Louis County Board of Police Commissioners and attend year-round training in courses covering topics of mental health, fair and impartial policing and emergency response.
We are fortunate to have the Department of Public Safety in the Division of Student Development within the provost鈥檚 office as it allows us to develop meaningful relationships across the University to serve our community. I am grateful to work with a talented group of public safety professionals at Saint Louis University who are committed to serving our community in meaningful ways.鈥�Sarah Cunningham, Ph.D., Vice President for Student Development
