Need Help? Call us 24/7, 365 days a year at 315.443.2224.
You can also reach us by dialing #78 (#SU) from your cell phone, dialing 711 from a campus landline, or by utilizing the Orange Safe app.
The DPS office on Main Campus is located at 005 Sims Hall, and is open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Our substation is located at 101 Marshall Street, and hours of operation can be found here. You can also speak with Public Safety employees at security desks and other locations around campus.
Engaging with External Law Enforcement
If any member of the campus community – student, faculty, or staff – is approached by an officer from an outside law enforcement agency, you have the right to contact Syracuse University’s Department of Public Safety first.
Simply let the officer know you would like to call DPS, then dial 315.443.2224. A DPS officer will respond and guide the interaction from there.
