Welcome

Latest News

Welcome to the Tufts University Department of Public & Environmental Safety. The development of this home page was the collective effort of many members of our staff. I am grateful for their contributions.

Our department consists of several organizations responsible for safety, security and loss prevention on the three campuses of Tufts University. Among these are the Tufts University Police Department, Environmental Health & Safety, Fire Safety, Risk Management & Insurance, and Tufts Emergency Medical Services (TEMS). In addition, Public Safety Administrative Services encompasses parking services, shuttle services, photo ID cards, and access systems.

As you review our home page, I would appreciate hearing from you on any suggestions to improve this presentation.

Sincerely,

John M. King, CPP
Senior Director of Public & Environmental Safety

Online Parking Permit Sales

Visit the Online Parking Management System to purchase your school-year 2009-2010 parking permit. Currently we are only accepting employee permit purchases and payroll deduction is the only payment method available. Student permits will go on sale in early September, and credit card and e-check payments will be accepted at that time. In addition, students will be able to purchase online guest permits for visitors.

Emergency Response Guide

Public Safety has published a guide for members of the Tufts Community with instructions for handling a variety of emergencies which may affect a Tufts campus. The ERG is available through the Emergency Preparedness web site.
