Department of Public Safety
The Department of Public Safety welcomes you to Texas Woman's University
Developing and maintaining a safe and secure environment for the university community is the primary mission of the Department of Public Safety (DPS). We strive to meet this goal with professionally trained staff and the cooperation of all students, faculty and staff.
Our combined efforts result in TWU having one of the lowest rates of reported crime in the nation when compared to universities of similar size. This website provides information about the basic university DPS services, crime and fire statistics. We hope that this information is helpful to you and will promote a genuine feeling of "community" within the university.
