Members of the Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety work to ensure the safety and security of everyone on the East Lansing campus, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The department aims to meet the dynamic public safety needs of students, faculty, staff and visitors so that all feel safe and at home.
When MSU hosts a home football game, the department is responsible for nearly all aspects of campus operations. It is a large undertaking, with members assigned to specific roles to ensure a safe and fun day for the tens of thousands of fans and visitors in the area.
