Providing essential safety services
Security Services play a vital role in supporting campus safety by implementing various measures to prevent crime and ensure the well-being of students, faculty, and staff.
Security Services employs both full-time security officers and part-time student security officers who help support campus safety by conducting regular patrols of campus to deter crime and identify potential security threats. They also monitor security cameras and other safety systems to detect suspicious behavior and respond to incidents quickly.
In addition to building patrols, this team assists with building unlocks, fire watch patrols, student life compliance checks, and other campus safety needs. Security Services also operates essential campus safety services including Nite Ride, Lost and Found, and Fingerprint Services.
This unit regularly provides security services to the Stanley Museum of Art, the Dental Sciences Building, Voxman Music Building, Campus Libraries, Ronald McDonald House, and Hope Lodge in addition to other rotating or temporary assignments based on campus needs and staffing levels.
The entire team is CPR-AED certified. All full-time Security Officers are required to complete Certified Protection Officer Training (CPO) offered by the International Foundation for Protection Officers. Student Security Officers are also trained in bystander intervention.
