Public Safety is in charge of the well-being of every Hofstra student, faculty member, and staff worker. They ensure this safety using trained professionals on foot, bicycle, and motor vehicle patrols.
Public Safety runs a shuttle system called the Hofstra Shuttle. Not only will the Hofstra Shuttle take you around campus, it will also take students to the train stations. There is also an entertainment shuttle that will take students to The Roosevelt Field Mall, Target, Stop and Shop, The Westbury Commons, and the movie theater on the weekends and Wednesday nights. Hofstra has recently added the night shuttle for the areas surrounding the university.
Hofstra employs the Blue Light system around campus to ensure the safety of its students. At any time on campus students will be able to see a blue light terminal around campus. If a student pushes one of the Blue Lights a public safety response team will be at that location in under 60 seconds.
