The Public Safety Ambassadors work with UPD to welcome people at the front counter, provide service, complete livescans, and connect with the campus community while patrolling the main campus, Housing facilities such as the Comfort Inn, and other satellite facilities. PSAs are also providing shuttle transportation for students to and from the Comfort Inn. PSAs are identifiable by a uniform but will not be armed. PSAs are also available to provide student safety escorts.
The hiring is part of ongoing efforts to build healthier relationships between UPD, students, staff, faculty, and the community. For example, UPD recently launched the Community Services Specialist position. Other examples include the Campus Safety and Policing Committee which includes students, staff, and faculty committed to campus safety. The Committee is actively seeking student membership. Please email osrr@humboldt.edu if you are an interested student.
The Public Safety Ambassadors are happy to provide service or connect the community with the best resources. As always, anyone can call UPD at (707) 826-5555, come by the UPD station in the Student & Business Services building, or talk with an officer, Community Service Specialist, or PSA on campus.
