CUNY Public Safety Department (Peace Officers)

Well, kiddo, do you know what "public safety" means? It means keeping people safe! The CUNY public safety department is a group of people whose job is to keep students and staff safe at the City University of New York (CUNY).

These people are called "peace officers." They are like police officers, but they have special powers to enforce laws on CUNY campuses. They wear uniforms and carry equipment like radios and handcuffs. They also have the power to make arrests if they see someone breaking the law.

But don't worry, they're not there to get you in trouble! They're there to make sure everyone is safe and following the rules. You can go to them if you need help or if you see something that doesn't look right. They're trained to handle emergencies like fires, robberies, or medical emergencies.

It's important to remember that the CUNY public safety department is there for you and they want to make sure that you have a safe and happy time at school!
