THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY IS COMPOSED OF 27 FULL-TIME PERSONNEL AND IS ORGANIZED INTO THREE SEPARATE DIVISIONS: (1) TRAFFIC; (2) SAFETY; AND (3) POLICE. THE TRAFFIC DIVISION SELLS DECALS, ASSIGNS VIOLATION PENALTIES, AND COLLECTS PARKING METER AND GATE FEES. THE DIVISION EMPLOYS AN I.D. CARD SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND IS ASSISTED BY THE UNIVERSITY COMPUTER CENTER. THE SAFETY DIVISION PERIODICALLY INSPECTS CAMPUS FACILITIES IN ORDER TO INSURE COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. IN THE AREA OF EDUCATION, THE SAFETY DIVISION OFFERS COURSES IN DEFENSIVE DRIVING, FIRST AID, CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION, AND THE PROPER USE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. THE SAFETY DIVISION IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING RECORDS OF ALL ACCIDENTS. THE POLICE DIVISION PLACES A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON COMMUNITY SERVICE. THIS DIVISION IS INVOLVED IN TRADITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES, BUT PRIDES ITSELF IN RESPONDING TO EACH SITUATION PRESENTED, REGARDLESS OF HOW SMALL IT MAY SEEM. THE DIVISION MAKES USE OF AUTOMATED COMPUTER TERMINALS FOR RAPID RELAY OF NEEDED INFORMATION, AND IT HAS INTEGRATED DEPARTMENTAL RECORDS WITH FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION'S UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING SYSTEM. SEVERAL PROGRAMS HAVE STEMMED FROM THE POLICE DIVISION. THE CRIME PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION OFFICE IS ONE SUCH EXTENTION AND CONDUCTS SEMINARS, ADMINISTERS SECURITY SURVEYS, AND CHARTS MONTHLY CRIME RECORDS ON CAMPUS MAPS TO IDENTIFY CRIME-PRONE AREAS. PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO STIMULATE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN CRIME PREVENTION.
