The Department of Public Safety's priorities include personal as well as community safety. The Department requests that every individual who currently possesses Family Court, Criminal Court, or Supreme Court orders of protection submit a copy to the Department of Public Safety. Once received, the department will file a copy with the Rockville Centre Police Department. 
 
Orders of protection are not only designed to keep an individual safe but also the community in which the individual works and/or studies. Public safety is mainly comprised of retired police officers, detectives, supervisors and commanders who are highly trained in such matters. Those individuals who come from other backgrounds have received training in safety, tactics and investigative techniques from members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement agencies. 
 
Remember, every time an order is renewed, you must again file a copy with the Molloy Department of Public Safety. The Department assures all those who file that every effort will be made to keep identities and details  confidential. 
 
  Definitions: 

• A Family Court order of protection's purpose is to prevent violence within a family or intimate relationship.
• A Criminal Court order of protection's is usually issued following the arrest of an individual for committing a crime against another.
• A Supreme Court order of protection is issued in an ongoing divorce case.

If you have any questions regarding court orders, contact the Department of Public Safety at (516)323-3500, ext. 3503 or 3504. 

Upon activation of a fire alarm, utilize the fire exit instructions which are posted in all rooms. If time permits, take all property belonging to you. 

Follow the instructions given to you by public safety officers and facilities personnel. Persons who are handicapped or injured will be assisted in the evacuation by public safety and  facilities personnel. Remain calm. Do not run. Walk to the proper fire exit and follow instructions. Do not attempt to reenter the buildings unless authorization has been given by proper authorities.

• Everyone must leave the building immediately if the fire alarm is activated or if you are directed to do so by emergency personnel.
• Use the nearest safe exit or exit stairwell. Never use elevators in an emergency evacuation.
• Non-ambulatory persons should move to a stairwell landing and wait for further assistance. If you see an individual needing evacuation assistance, do not try to carry them out. Alert Molloy University Department of Public Safety as you exit the building. Be ready to provide the stairwell and floor number. 
• If the nearest exit or exit stairwell is obstructed by smoke, fire or other hazards, proceed to another exit or exit stairwell.
• Hold the handrail and stay to the right side of the stairwell. Allow enough room for other evacuees to enter the flow of traffic.
• Once outside the building, assemble away from the facility. Stand by for instructions from emergency personnel.

Bias-related incidents are defined as behavior that constitutes an expression of hostility against the person or property of another because of the person's age, race, creed, gender, disability, marital status, and sexual orientation.

These crimes are assault, menacing, aggravated harassment, harassment, grand larceny, petit larceny, and criminal mischief. These new reporting categories are only reported if motivated by bias as determined by the bias categories listed above.
