“To create and ensure a safe environment for the LMU community”

I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit the Department of Public Safety (DPS) web site.  Our emphasis is focused on the educational, support, and service aspects rather than on the punitive side of law enforcement.

The DPS staff works hard to develop and maintain positive relationships with all members of the Community. Our principal objective is to assure the safety of all University students, faculty, staff, and visitors.  To this endeavor, we become partners with the University community to maintain and environment that is secure so as to foster and advance the process of student learning and faculty teaching at the same time protect the University’s assets.

I and the whole department urge you to become involved in your personal safety and the safety and security of our community.  Throughout the year, we conduct seminars and other community service activities to keep the students, faculty, and staff aware of issues on and around campus.  We invite everyone to join us in reducing the incidents of crime on campus.

Please check out our web site and learn about the services available to you.  We look forward to working with you for a safer community.  If you have any questions about the Department of Public Safety or our services, please contact me at rhilyar@lmu.edu or by calling 310 338-2893.

Chief Raymond E. Hilyar


Director of Public Safety
