All residence halls maintain a staffed central desk from 10 a.m. to midnight, Monday Thursday, and from noon to 2 a.m., Friday Sunday. During the period the desks are not staffed, roving patrols interact and communicate via walkie-talkie with the central door access monitoring station. These patrols may assist residents with legal entry into the buildings. Maintaining Facilities and Surveys Representatives from the University Police Department and the Physical Plant conduct a semiannual lighting survey of the entire campus. They check the adequacy of lighting near residence halls, parking lots, garages, pedestrian walkways and building exteriors.
Police patrols identify and report lighting deficiencies and inoperable lights.
The University Police Crime Prevention Unit conducts security surveys of buildings throughout the year. In addition, the unit surveys the campus to see that shrubbery, trees and other vegetation are properly trimmed.
