Given the heightened emphasis on safety and emergency response on college campuses nationwide, Colorado State University has moved to develop a more coordinated infrastructure for addressing campus safety issues with the creation of a new umbrella unit, the Department of Public Safety. As of February 1, 2008, the unit includes the CSU Police Department, Environmental Health Services, Parking Services, the University Special Events Advisory Group, CSU’s Emergency Management Team and Foothills Campus Security.
CSU Police Chief Dexter Yarbrough heads the new unit as Associate Vice President for Public Safety, reporting to the Executive Vice President.
It is our expectation that this new structure will assure better coordination campuswide in terms of access control, infrastructure security, hazardous materials management and emergency planning.
As Associate Vice President, Chief Yarbrough is responsible for working with local, state and federal public
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

safety agencies on emergency-related response issues that could impact CSU.
He
also works collaboratively with and provides
direction as needed to Facilities Management on physical security of
university buildings and grounds, campus lighting, security-related
alarms and video and the building proctors program. He coordinates
with Housing and Dining Services regarding residence life and
apartment safety and with Telecommunications on emergency telephones
and communications.
