DCSS Divisions & Departments

The Administrative Support Services Division includes Crime Prevention, Communications, School Resource Office, Evidence and Set Team. 

CSAs include individuals who provide security at a campus parking kiosk, monitor access into a campus facility, act as event security or escort students around campus after dark. 

The Communications Unit is staffed by police communications operators (PCOs) that are certified by Florida’s Department of Health and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. 

The Criminal Investigations Unit is tasked with following leads developed during the initial reporting of criminal activity to University Police. 

The Records Unit is responsible for compiling, maintaining and disseminating information from police records regarding both incident and traffic reports. 

The presence of an SRO on campus provides opportunities for positive experiences between law enforcement and students. 

When students, faculty and staff are prepared for emergencies, the impact to the University can be reduced, and the recovery process can be quicker.  

FAMU OPT has taken proactive measures to ensure that the parking experience while here on the campus is both safe and worry-free. 

All DCSS officers are state certified and professionally trained with the same authority and rights as any officer in Florida.
