The Department of Public Safety emphasizes “community policing,” which means that the department works collaboratively with the community to prevent, identify and resolve problems and causes of crime and disorder. Community policing utilizes the input and talents of all members of the community in safeguarding the campus. Foot and bike patrols are emphasized so that officers are closer to the community and can establish and maintain trust.
Students, faculty, teachers, and staff are encouraged to:
The District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) assists with specialized, complex investigations on campus and with incidents involving Gallaudet that occur off campus. Metropolitan police are contacted and dispatched to campus in any arrest situation. MPD is also contacted at the request of a complainant or victim.
