Vanderbilt University Public Safety creates outreach amid national incidents of violence and social unrest

Vanderbilt University Public Safety (VUPS) wants its student and staff community to know that it exists to keep them safe and provide a welcoming, educational environment for all. In the Vanderbilt University News this week, the VUPS department put out an article to reassure students and staff of its presence and its ability to help, as safety concerns have increased amid reports of national incidents of violence and social unrest.  

The team reminded its community that it actively monitors for any potential threats to the campus and coordinates with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies as needed to protect the Vanderbilt community. One of Tennessee’s larger law enforcement agencies, VUPS provides comprehensive law enforcement and security services to all components of the university as well as to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt Health One Hundred Oaks.
