Event Safety & Risk Mitigation: Coordinating Public Safety Resources and Police Detail Requests
Northeastern University Police Department (NUPD) works closely with event organizers to ensure gatherings are safe, well-managed, and appropriately supported. As part of the event planning process, NUPD can assist with risk assessment, helping identify potential concerns, recommend safety measures, and determine whether a police detail or other resources are needed.
Each event is treated individually, and a tailored prescription will be crafted to support your event in the most appropriate way
When to Request
Please submit your request at least five business days prior to your event. If you are unsure whether a detail is required, complete the Event Notification/Special Detail Request Form. A member of NUPD will review your event, conduct a risk assessment, and contact you to discuss your needs.
How to Request
Use your myNortheastern username and password to submit a detail request online. You will receive a confirmation email once the request has been processed.
Special Considerations
Events involving alcohol must follow the Alcohol Guidelines for Faculty and Staff. Risk and safety reviews will include these factors when applicable.
