Single-Graduate and Family Housing

The University Police Department and Housing Security provide security for the residence halls and graduate/ family housing through regular car and foot patrols.

Single Student Residence Halls

The Dept. of Housing security dispatcher is trained to respond to all requests from residents and staff by dispatching the appropriate staff or agencies. Housing Security Assistants and Security Shift Leads provide external security at single student residence halls. These security assistants are radio dispatched and patrol single student residence halls on foot from 10 PM to 4 AM year round.

The security assistant's primary duties include the following:

1. Securing entrances
2. Safety and security patrols of bike racks, parking lots, commons areas and facilities/grounds
3. Observe and report suspicious activities.

Security assistants are student employees hired, trained, and supervised by a full-time Housing administrator.

Prevention Through Education

Residence hall staff promote crime prevention and personal safety by conducting joint educational programming with UPD Community Services, the Center for Sexual Assault/Abuse Recovery and Education (CARE), and by sponsoring safety and security awareness programming on their own.
