About
Safety & Security
USN has contracted the Vanderbilt University Police Department to provide campus security and oversee the school’s comprehensive physical security plan as well as training for faculty, staff, and K-12 students.
USNs Office of Safety and Security is made up of a group of Police and Community Service Officers whose services are contracted through the Vanderbilt University Police Department (VUPD). This team, which consists of a Police Captain, 2 School Resource Officers, and 5 Community Service Officers, provides campus security, emergency response; they oversee the school’s comprehensive security plan and training for faculty, staff, and K-12 students. This team services both our Edgehill Campus as well as the River Campus.
School Resource Officers (SROs) are POST certified police officers who are primarily assigned to a school and provide safety and security-related functions, including emergency response, safety training, traffic direction, and patrol functions. All of the SROs at USN are certified through the National Association of School Resource Officers. Community Service Officers are our non-sworn security officers who assist with everything that police are able to do except they do not have arrest authority and are primarily the eyes and ears of the department.
These School Resource Officers (SROs) and Community Service Officers (CSOs) goal is to provide security services through community engagement, safety training, perimeter security, and emergency response. The Safety and Security team engages with students, faculty, staff and families through activities such as reading to Lower Schoolers in Hassenfeld library, accompanying Middle Schoolers on a ride around Vanderbilt University’s campus on bikes students refurbished in art class, and speaking at High School assemblies.
