Security officers patrol University properties – including the River Campus, Medical Center, South Campus, and Eastman School – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to responding to emergencies – fires, accidents, or physical crimes, for example – security staff provide a wide range of non-emergency services.
These include:
- crime prevention training and awareness
- victim and witness support
- personal safety escorts
- door openings for people who are locked out
- routine building and area checks
- security surveys of office space or building renovations
- landscaping and exterior lighting evaluations
- lost and found property storage.
The University maintains an extensive network of over 500 interior and exterior public access telephones. Students, faculty, and staff can call the Security Communication Center for assistance any time of the day or night from any of these phones. Included are over 125 direct-dial Blue Light Emergency Phones, more than 140 elevator phones, and over 100 interior and exterior service telephones.
