Security Department Mission 

The mission of the Security Department of College of Saint Mary is to provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.  This includes regular patrolling of the campus during the evening hours, enforcement of CSM policies, ensuring that all campus facilities are safe and properly secured, investigation of any crimes which occur on campus, and the continuous assessment of our safety and security programs.  The security staff also strives to integrate the mission of CSM with the overall security function. 

  

CSM Security Department 

The CSM Security Department consists of the Director of Security, three regular security officers, and several on-call officers who serve at special functions.  All officers undergo regular training under the direction of the Director of Security, certified Emergency Medical Technicians, and law enforcement professionals.  This includes training in subjects such as conflict resolution, defensive tactics, and CPR/First-Aid.
