Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
I hope this email finds you and your loved ones well and staying healthy during these challenging times. Despite the recent reduction in some of our services at the Department of Public Safety (DPS), our emergency communications center is fully operational and officers continue to patrol the campus 24/7. If you are on campus, these officers are available to assist you in the event of an emergency situation. To contact DPS, call us at 315.443.2224 or connect with us via the LiveSafe app.
I want to update you on investigations related to the bias incidents reports that are posted on our website. As a reminder, we made a commitment to post incidents of hate speech and actions and other bias-related incidents to our website within 48 hours. However, to prevent jeopardizing active investigations, there may be instances where it takes longer than 48 hours to post. In order to track the investigative status of all incidents, we have created a table that is posted on the website. There, anyone may review an incident, when and where it occurred, details of the incident, and the status of the investigation.
We continue to actively investigate the bias incidents that have occurred on our campus. A reward remains available, thanks to the generosity of a concerned donor, for those who provide information that leads to the identification of responsible individuals.
Finally, as a reminder, you can subscribe to the bias incident page to receive a notification when a new incident is posted. To do so, visit dps.syr.edu/public-information/bias-incident-reports. There, you can submit the email address to which you’d like the reports sent.
Sincerely,
Chief Bobby Maldonado
