The mission of the Department of Public Safety is to create a safe environment for the whole LMU community and in doing so, providing the University community with timely and accurate information about crimes that occur on LMU's campus geography, as well as the safety policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety of the campus environment. The Communications Officer (Dispatcher), working under the department's guiding principle-to foster an environment where students, faculty, staff, and visitors on our campus feel safe and respected- and reporting to the Patrol Captain, is responsible for maintaining effective and efficient communications between Departmental, University and outside Law and other Government Agencies. As an employee of the Department of Public Safety, you will be required to work during designated days/peak periods. These days and periods, which can extend for several weeks during peak times such as summer, are critical for staffing needs and operational requirements. During these periods, employees are expected to be available for duty without the ability to request time off. Additionally, you may be called in and expected to respond during your scheduled days off, and you will receive appropriate compensation for this additional work. This position is subject to an alternative work schedule, 4/10 shift (four, ten-hour days per week).
