Welcome to this on-line Office of Security & Safety.  The staff in the Office of Security & Safety is responsible for the protection of the people and property in the law school community.  The Assistant Vice President for Security & Safety can be contacted by dialing extension 2837 on any campus telephone or 212-431-2837 if off-campus weekdays during regular business hours, or stopping by the office which is located at 57 Worth Street, lower level, room L2.  When the Assistant Vice President is not available to answer his telephone, a caller may press 0 (zero) during his voice mail greeting to redirect the call to the officer at the 47 Worth Street security desk.

In addition to the Assistant Vice President, the security staff comprises one senior coordinator, two full-time coordinators, one assistant coordinator, three lead officers, three full-time officers, and several part-time officers.  The senior security coordinator report to the Assistant Vice President, and the other security officers report to the senior security coordinator.

The temporary relocation of the Mendik Library to 40 Worth Street has placed a staffing demand on the security department which cannot be met with current personnel. The library occupies three floors and is open seven days a week.  Due to the uncertainty of the number of positions and the type of skills that will be needed by the security staff in the future, the law school has contracted with an outside security company Summit Security Services. Summit Security will work with the law school security department as a partner in helping to maintain the safety and security of the law school community.

Summit Security will provide staff to cover the post and patrol positions on the fourth, seventh, and fourteenth floors at 40 Worth Street.  The company will also provide additional staff should the need arise and/or due to staff attrition.  All Summit Security staffs will be cross trained so they are familiar with the library spaces as well as security operations at the main campus (47, 53, and 57 Worth Street).

Security officers are assigned to posts located in the lobbies of 47 Worth Street, 57 Worth Street, and on each floor of the Mendik Library at 40 Worth Street. The main security desk is located in the 47 Worth Street lobby and there is a security officer on duty at that post 24 hours a day. You can contact a security officer by dialing the appropriate extension noted below.

Contact the officer at the 47 Worth Street security desk on extension 2123 should an emergency arise. Do not use this extension for non-emergency calls.

In accordance with federal and state law, New York Law School maintains information regarding security policies and procedures and prepares annual Campus Security Report with all campus crime statistics as reported to the United States Department of Education. You may access this information at the Office of Postsecondary Education web-site.  The Report is distributed annually to all members of the Law School community, is posted on the school's web-site, and is also available upon request from the Assistant Vice President of Security and Safety (57 Worth Street, Lower Level Room L2, 212-431-2837).

Our goal is to keep all members of our community safe and secure. You can help us by looking out for your personal and valuable property, the personal property of others, and Law School property.  We need your cooperation.  Do not leave personal property unattended even for a second!  Do not hesitate to report suspicious persons, activities, conditions, or crimes to the security staff.  I also thank the members of the security staff for their dedication to keeping the law school a safe and secure community.
