MSU Police and Public Safety
The Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety (MSU DPPS) is a coalition of bureaus and divisions that, together, work to ensure the safety and security of everyone on Michigan State University’s campus. The department is made up of four bureaus — Police Services, Public Safety, Support Services, and Health Sciences Security — that together provide comprehensive, 24/7 safety services with the highest level of transparency and accountability. This integrated approach aims to meet the dynamic security needs of students, faculty, staff, and visitors, empowering all people to feel safe and at home as part of the Spartan community.
