Southern University Police Department

From the Southern University Police Department, we want to extend a sincere thank you to Tyliana Jones, Donna Burks, and Roz Davis (Capital Area Human Services) for hosting such a powerful and impactful event.

Mental health is wealth—and conversations like these are how we continue to break barriers, reduce stigma, and truly show up for one another. Our crisis response team is committed to pushing forward, creating safe spaces, and ensuring that support is always within reach for our students and community.

Events like this remind us that strength isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about speaking up, checking in, and standing together.

We appreciate your leadership, your voice, and your dedication to making a difference. 💙

Congratulations to Crystal and The Safety Place on this amazing accomplishment!

This new Safety Town is going to be something special, and the kids are absolutely going to love it. What a great way to make learning about safety fun, interactive, and memorable for our youth.

🚨 SUPD Presents: Project CALM 🚨

The Southern University Police Department is proud to partner with campus support services to bring you Project CALM (Crisis Assistance Linkage & Management) — a powerful initiative focused on mental health awareness, crisis response, and building a stronger, more supportive campus community.

📅 Date: May 1, 2026
⏰ Time: 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM
📍 Location: Multipurpose Room, Harris Hall

This event will equip students with:
✔️ Tools to recognize warning signs
✔️ Practical ways to respond in crisis situations
✔️ Resources to support themselves and others

Whether you’re navigating college life or looking out for a friend, this is information everyone needs. Especially important for first- and second-year students getting adjusted to campus life.

Let’s build a campus where awareness turns into action and support is second nature.

This week, we proudly recognize National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week—a time to honor the voices behind the scenes who keep everything moving when it matters most.

Our dispatchers are the calm in the chaos. The steady voice on the other end of the line. The ones who answer every call—no matter the hour, no matter the situation—and make sure help gets where it needs to go.

While officers may be the ones you see, dispatchers are the ones who make it all happen. Every call taken, every unit directed, every life impacted starts with them.

To our dispatch team: we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to keeping our community safe.

Southern University Police Department is grateful for each and every one of you.
