Tulane Public Safety
We're here to protect you

The Tulane Department of Public Safety includes 44 full-time commissioned officers who are trained at state-certified police academies and meet the requirements of the Louisiana Peace Officer Standards of Training, 15 support staff members, and more than 40 part-time student employees, who receive special training in campus law-enforcement. We patrol campus 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Tulane police officers are commissioned to bear arms, make arrests and exercise investigative powers by the State of Louisiana R.S. 17:1805, as well as the New Orleans Police Department. Many of our officers are recruited from state and local law enforcement agencies. Many have extensive experience in campus law enforcement.

The department is also responsible for enforcing traffic regulations on campus. It reports to the senior vice president for operations and chief financial officer.

Keeping Tulane Secure" is an annual publication providing information to the campus community as per public law.
