Yale Public Safety announces updated mission and objective supported by four priorities

March 31, 2022

Yale’s Department of Public Safety and the Committee on Policing have embraced the foundational themes of the March 2020 report by 21CP Solutions and has reimagined how we keep Yale safe. Yale Public Safety (YPS) has developed priority: maintain a safe living, learning, and working environment in partnership with all we serve. In order to achieve this overarching objective, YPS came up with four pillars:

  1. reimagining public safety at Yale,
  2. strengthening community trust and confidence,
  3. ensuring responsive police practices and operations, and
  4. strengthening YPD’s culture.

In addition, Yale Public Safety has implemented and is working on other policies and practices with input from Yale faculty and the Justice Collaboratory at the Yale Law School.
