| BUILDING SECURITY |
|

You are the KEY to security in your residence hall...
Building security is a responsibility we share with each
resident.
Nevertheless, your personal choices can do as much, if
not more, to jeopardize the safety of your fellow building
occupants.
Follow simple common sense and don't let people you don't
know into your building.

Do you
trust this person...?
|

If you approach your hall and see people who appear to
be our staff or other campus staff near the entrance door,
don't hold the door open for us.
Under normal circumstances, our staff should not just
"slip in" to your residence hall or pass through
locked interior doors when someone else opens the door.
Make us use our campus ID cards for access.
Persons, including fellow students, not known to you shouldn't
be let into your building -- the safety of your hallmates
and your own safety is at stake ! ! !

| Sorry. We won't hold doors open for you
since most of our staff won't be able to identify where students
live. |

TO HELP YOU
FEEL SECURE, HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO.
At your apartment, suite or bedroom door
We will knock and announce ourselves before attempting to
enter a room.
When someone is present, we will identify who we are, why
we've come, and make certain our presence is not an undue
inconvenience.� We will offer to lock the room door or suite/apartment
entry door when we leave. When no one is present, we will
leave behind a copy of the completed work order or an I
Was Here.... form to describe why we came or what
we did.� We'll lock the door behind us.
Unless the work we are doing requires otherwise, we will always
leave the room door open when we're in the room.� Should we
need to leave the room for parts, we'll lock the door if no
one else is present.
At an entrance door to your building
When entering a residence hall, we will not permit others
to enter through the door at the same time we do. We won't
hold exterior doors open for you, since most of our staff
won't be able to identify who lives where. We will not prop
open exterior entrance doors.� When our work requires an entrance
door to be open, we will ask residents to use other entrances
where they must use their ID card to gain access to the building.
At all times:
|
- We will always wear our ID cards.�
For the majority of Residential Facilities' staff, we'll
wear the complete uniform that is issued to us.
- We will respond promptly to reports
of building deficiencies that affect the safety and security
of residents and their property.
- We will use the keys and access cards
assigned to us carefully and safeguard against their loss
and inappropriate use.
- We will report to Campus Police individuals
who we believe are not residents of the building and who
are acting suspiciously.
