Nearly two weeks into the semester, students attending Syracuse University feel like they are in safe hands on campus. "Living in the dorms, I feel very safe," said Danielle Bastow, a junior management studies major.

Recent restructuring within the department aims to develop a closer relationship between DPS and the campus community.
