of professional departments available to assist you. Early and continual
communication will help to ensure a smooth event.

or concerns must be cleared through the
Department of Public Safety. Public Safety officers and community service
officers are available on an hourly basis for special events, crowd control
and VIP security. Departments or organizations planning special activities
should contact Public Safety as early as possible so that the duration
and number of officers needed can be determined. Payment of estimated
