Patrol & Escort Services

Department of Public Safety

Our Security Team

  • 24/7 Campus Patrols: Officers patrol on foot, bicycle, and in marked vehicles around the clock, maintaining visibility and readiness to assist. Equipped with two-way radios, they stay connected to dispatchers, supervisors, and emergency services for immediate response times.

  • Escort Services: For added peace of mind, request a safety escort to and from classes, residence halls, or parking areas—available anytime via a quick call. This service ensures you navigate campus confidently, day or night.

  • Hurricane and Emergency Preparedness: We provide timely updates through the PBA Alert system, RaveGuardian mobile app, social media (follow us on X/Twitter and Facebook), email listservs, and campus communications to keep you informed and safe during severe weather or other events.

Emergency Resources

  • In any urgent situation: Dial 911 for immediate police, fire, or medical response.
  • Use one of our 18 well-lit blue-light emergency call boxes located at residence hall entrances, parking lots, and key pathways—these connect directly to on-campus dispatch or the West Palm Beach Police Department (press the red button for extreme emergencies only).
  • For non-emergencies, like a lost item or suspicious activity, contact us right away.
  • Download the free RaveGuardian app for one-touch alerts, location sharing, and virtual escorts—your personal safety companion.
