Hunter Department of Public Safety
The City University of New York Department of Public Safety is dedicated to providing excellence in protection and service to the University community.
Hunter College is a very safe community. Fortunately, incidents of violent crime are virtually non-existent. However, things do occur and no matter how infrequent or how minor a crime may be, when you are the victim, it is serious, frustrating, and at best inconvenient. The members of the Public Safety Department work very hard everyday to try to protect you and your property. While on patrol, officers frequently remind students and staff to watch their valuables. The key is awareness. By not placing yourself, or your property, in a vulnerable situation you can avoid becoming a victim of a crime of opportunity. The safety tips on these pages are designed to give you the information you need to protect yourself and your property.
