Message from the Chief

Welcome to the UNCSA Police and Public Safety Department. It’s an honor to serve this incredible community as your police chief. My goal is to be approachable and present — someone that students, faculty and staff feel comfortable coming to, whether for help, a question or a conversation.

I’ve built a team of professionals who are not only experienced, but truly care about your safety and well-being. At the heart of our work are the values of A.R.T.S.: Accountability, Respect, Truthfulness and Service. These guide how we show up every day for you, for each other and for the campus we call home.

Safety is a shared purpose that unites our community and police department, and we're committed to working together to solve issues collaboratively and productively. Every day, our team will strive to ensure a positive, fulfilling experience in a safe, vibrant environment where you can thrive in your art, your work and your daily life.

We're here for you. Let’s build something strong together.

Yours in Service,
Tommy L. McMasters
Assistant Vice Chancellor and Chief of Police
