Changes in Store for Department of Public Safety Office Hours

Effective Dec. 16, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) office will close at 10 p.m. The office will be closed on all University holidays. Beginning Jan. 7, 2007, the DPS office will close at midnight.

These changes will be carried on through June 30, 2007. At that time, a review of the effectiveness of these changes will take place, and a determination to continue or discontinue these changes will be made.

As a general guideline, the following will apply through June 30, 2007: the DPS office will close at midnight when school is in session; the DPS office will close at 10 p.m. during University break periods and summer sessions; and the DPS office will be closed on all University holidays and other days as announced by DPS administration.

These changes will not effect coverage by the DPS police officer staff. The DPS will still have a police officer on duty 24 hours a day, throughout the calendar year. The changes will only effect the hours in which a receptionist is working. In accordance with these changes, all phone calls made to the DPS office after regular office hours will be forwarded to the Central Dispatch.
