As members of the Department of Public Safety at Brown University, our mission is to contribute toward the quality of University life by fostering an environment in which public safety and well-being are balanced with the diverse needs of the community, through partnerships built on trust and respect.

The success of this mission depends upon a true partnership between Public Safety personnel and the diverse population of students, staff, faculty, and visitors that constitute the University community - a partnership built on mutual respect and responsibility.

Towards that partnership, the members of the Department of Public Safety pledge their respect for the needs and rights of the community, their diligence and professionalism in the protection of persons, property and rights, and to their determination to ever seek new and better ways to reduce the opportunity for crime, to increase safety awareness, and to encourage a sense of communal concern for each other's safety and well-being.
