The commitment in regards to law enforcement in the `university environment is a challenging one at best. I would like you to know that our philosophy at Worcester State University is "community policing.”

Our philosophy and mission is to enhance the "community policing" model to all members of the campus, including students, staff and faculty. With your help and your prompt reporting of any suspicious activity, along with the University Police continued efforts to remain visible by cruisers, foot and bike patrols we can minimize the dangers of crimes occurring within our community. The University Police Department patrols the campus on a twenty-four hour basis throughout the calendar year.

I would like to invite the entire community to review the Student Handbook. This document included policies of Student Rights and Responsibilities, and the University's Judicial System. These documents are also available at the Information Desk in the Student Center.

If you have any questions or concerns with the University Police Department, please do not hesitate to email me at rosemary.naughton@worcester.edu.

Sincerely,

Rosemary F. Naughton
Chief of Police
Worcester State University
