Department of Public SafetyThe University maintains a staff of professional police officers, separate from city and state police agencies. University police officers are commissioned by the Board of Regents under Missouri statutes and by the City of Cape Girardeau. The officers are charged with protecting the safety of people and property on the University campus and maintaining the security of University facilities. The officers are members of the University's Department of Public Safety. Any crime, dangerous situation, hazard, or suspicious activity observed on University property should be reported promptly to an officer or the Department of Public Safety. The Department of Public Safety is located in D-Wing of Dearmont Hall, phone (573) 651-2215. Business hours are 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday; however, the office is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Parking. The University maintains various streets, parking lots, and sidewalks under its control and separate from public streets and thoroughfares in the City of Cape Girardeau. The use of motorized vehicles and bicycles by University students, faculty, and staff on these streets, parking lots, and sidewalks is governed by regulations approved by the Board of Regents and regularly reviewed by a University Committee. All vehicles of students and employees operated and parked on University property must be registered with the Department of Public Safety and display the appropriate permit. Residents of the University's residence halls may park their vehicles in the vicinity of the campus only on University-owned parking lots and streets. Premium parking is available in preferred parking lots; however, parking is available at a reduced cost in perimeter lots. Application for parking may be made by mail in July preceding the academic year or anytime during the current semester. Additional information on these services can be obtained by contacting the Department of Public Safety or by visiting http://www5.semo.edu/dps/parking . Copies of parking and traffic regulations are available in the Department of Public Safety Office. Shuttle.
