Public Safety
Kirtland Public Safety Officers are certified officers through the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. In addition personnel are trained in a vast array of training programs such as firearms, interviewing, crisis response and less than lethal force to name a few. The Kirtland Public Safety officer’s jurisdiction covers anywhere on either campus, plus adjoining public roadways.
You probably won’t realize the Public Safety officers are all around Kirtland — until you need one.
If you ever lock yourself out of your car, lose something or find yourself needing an escort, we will be there to serve and protect you.
Your safety at Kirtland is more important to us. Should anything dangerous happen on campus, Kirtland’s Public Safety officers will make every attempt to keep you safe.
You’re likely to need them when you have:
- locked your keys in your vehicle
- filed a personal protection order against someone and need an escort
- lost something of value
- your car needs a jump
You are at Kirtland to learn or work. Public Safety officers are ready to help you when unpredictable events get in your way.
