Department of Public Safety
The Springfield College Department of Public Safety strives to keep our campus safe. All police officers are fully trained, and they are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition to the officers, the Department of Public Safety also has a dispatch center as well as Community Service Officers (CSO) who patrol the campus on foot, and can also respond to assist with medical emergencies when needed.
The Department of Public Safety also provides various services and educational programs, and they can offer assistance with vehicle registration so you can park on campus.

Comfort Dog
A Special Member of the Force!
At Springfield College, we care about the health and well-being of our campus community, especially our students. We know that college, for newer students in particular, can pose challenges in adjusting to a new way of learning and living.
We are here to support you at every step. Let us introduce you to one of our special helpers! Remy is our new campus comfort dog, who is undergoing training as he learns basic obedience, socializing skills, and advanced manner classes.
As a member of the Department of Public Safety, Remy, once trained, will be available to help comfort our students in distress, and make visits to faculty and staff.
