The Department of Public Safety is a full-service police department staffed with police/security officers, criminal investigators, certified dispatchers, and other support staff. Both enforcement (campus policing) and crime prevention are emphasized. Jackson State University’s closed campus policy requires officers to check for identification when entry is made onto campus property. A check is made for identification, parking permits, and the nature of business if a non-student or nonfaculty member is involved.
