The department, consisting of a chief, four sergeants, thirteen police officers, two security officers, and four parking monitors, monitor the campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Headquartered in the Stoneman building, the University police provide emergency services to the Brandeis community via the most modern equipment available.

The University police patrol the campus on a regular basis and monitor closed circuit television coverage of specific public areas and parking lots.
The jurisdiction of the Brandeis University Police officers includes the Main Campus, the Angleside and Charles River Road Residence Halls, property on Turner Street and Sibley Road and any other property belonging to the University.
All University police officers are warranted under Chapter 22 C Section 63 of the Massachusetts General Laws after receiving formalized training in police sciences at the Massachusetts State Police Academy and/or the Massachusetts Police Training Committee. Each officer receives further specialized training through various federal, state, and local Criminal Justice Training Centers. The department continually sponsors in-service training programs for its members to keep them abreast of the latest in medical and police science techniques.
