Community Relations

Due to the location of our university, the city is our campus. Our issues, i.e. safety, traffic, sanitation, street lighting, quality of life, etc. are the same as the community's. We interact with the community constantly because we are part of the community. Community concerns are our concerns. We attend community board meetings with local Police personnel to voice our concerns and to listen to our neighbors concerns to enhance our environment and living conditions.

Reports

All incidents must be reported to officers in the lobby of NYU buildings. All incident reports are typed and maintained in a database. Incidents are reviewed to determine if increased patrols are necessary in certain areas.

Monitoring Systems

All NYU buildings are protected by perimeter alarm systems and are covered with surveillance cameras.
