Introduction

Welcome to the Yale University Police Web Site.  Since 1894, the men and women of the department have taken great pride in providing service to the Yale community in partnership with the City of New Haven. Our beliefs are anchored in our core values of: INTEGRITY, TRUST, COMMITMENT and COURAGE.  We are a department that encourages diversity and demands respect for all.

This Web Site provides you with information on the department and can answer most of your questions. However, it is no substitute for the knowledge and experience of our police officers, dispatchers and civilian support staff, for truly, our reputation rests with them. 

Thank you for visiting our site, and I hope you benefit from this aspect of the Yale community.

James A. Perrotti
Chief of Police

Everyday members of the Yale University Police Department perform commendable acts that go by without notice. In an effort to recognize those employees, we have created an online commendation form. We encourage members of our community to spend a few minutes and submit information about a commendable action by one of our police officers or associates so we can properly recognize their actions.
