During the course of an academic year, the Department of Public Safety at the LIU Post Campus recovers many items of personal property. Much of this property cannot be returned, as the rightful owner cannot be identified. The Department of Pubic Safety recommends that members of the campus community record the serial numbers of all valuable equipment, computers, stereos, televisions, etc. and file them away for safekeeping. Should a member elect to engrave his/her valuables, DO NOT use a Social Security number. Instead use information that will have meaning to the member alone, including family birth dates, mother's maiden name, etc. An engraver is available for a member's use through the Department of Public Safety. When calling to arrange an escort please provide the following information: your name, your exact location, your destination.

If a member cannot find his or her car keys, wallet, purse, backpack or other personal property, he/she should contact the Department of Public Safety at 516-299-2214 at any time. If a member finds someone's property he/she can deliver it or have it forwarded to the Department of Public Safety.

The department is located in the Facilities Services building at the northeast side of campus off Gold Coast Road.
