Along with the apparent presence of Security at dances, said Briscoe, they provide staff for any function that they're called upon. Security provides an escort service in the evenings, even after its official hours have ended. They also occasionally deal with noise complaints from students on campus. They help students who get locked out of their cars and also assist with vehicle jumpstarts and flat tires. Parents sometimes call Security asking about the welfare of a son or daughter who they haven't been able to contact, and a member will go and try to find the student to check in with them and inform them of their parent's concern.
Security takes reports on any type of complaints that students have.
They allow the victim to decide whether to deal with a situation through the campus student judicial system or the criminal system. Briscoe said that Security is currently also working with the county and FM on the disaster preparation on campus. They keep a constant eye on the alarm systems on campus, such as the fire or environmental alarms. They pass out surveys to see how students, faculty and staff feel about the department. Furthermore, security officers themselves survey buildings, said Briscoe, to check their condition and to see how things might be better secured.
