The Norfolk State University Police Department continues to be responsible for the safety and security of all members of the University community. As the department continues to serve and protect, please note that Norfolk State University is a public/urban institution located in the City of Norfolk, Virginia.

The University remains an open community where students, faculty and staff are on campus during many hours of the day and night. In its urban setting, the University shares many of the same concerns that exist in the surrounding communities. It is important, however, for all members of the community to take personal responsibility for safety, as well as become “security conscious” in order to avoid actions that jeopardize safety.
