In his new role, Favreau will lead a team of about 25 full-time and part-time public safety officers and dispatchers who serve the college community 24-7. Saint Michael’s College public safety officers are unarmed, uniformed civilians, and they are often among the first responders to campus requests for service and emergencies. They also frequently assist local law enforcement with nearby emergencies.
