Welcome to the New York State University Police at Upstate Facebook page!
The University Police Department is located in Building 49 and has a satellite office in room 1326 of University Hospital, open 24 hours a day, every day, providing around-the-clock protection and service for the campus community. Our community includes University Hospital, a level 1 Trauma Center, and University Hospital at Community General, which is located on Onondaga Hill. Our Police Department performs the same services as any other municipal police department, in addition to the unique activities that an academic and medical institution poses.
University Police are responsible for the law enforcement duties on campus and campus owned property, along with Upstate Medical University policies. University Police Officers are vested with full law enforcement powers and have responsibilities and authority similar to local police in any community, including the authority to arrest. They are trained at a Basic Academy for Police. They receive specialized training in the requirements of law enforcement in the academic community, as well as NYS Penal, Criminal Procedure, and Vehicle and Traffic law, first aid, use of non-deadly force, communication and crime prevention topics.
University Police Officers are responsible for providing services in the enforcement of federal, state and local statutes and Upstate Medical University policies.
The Police Division also utilizes the Public Safety Division to help supplement the duties of patrol and to assist as needed in enforcement activities.
We will use this page to keep the campus community informed with general information and safety and alert notices.
