services & programs | who we are | parking | campus safety tips

The Department of Safety & Security uses contracted security officers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Primary responsibilities include maintaining a safe and secure living and working environment, the efficient flow of traffic and enforcement of parking regulations on campus. Security Officers do not have arrest powers, however, the University has developed a highly cooperative relationship with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to help ensure prompt and efficient action.

Services
patrol Safety & Security Officers are walking around the campus patrolling and interacting with students, faculty and staff.

parking enforcement Officers patrol campus parking lots, issue parking citations, immobilize and/or tow vehicles which violate campus parking policies.

communications The communications center is staffed at all times to take calls for service. Communications officers answer emergency, non-emergency, and business telephone lines. They radio dispatch Security Officers to calls for service, and monitor alarms for campus buildings.

lost & found is a service where lost items are retrieved and held at the office of Safety & Security for 90 days. A student may inquire about lost items at any time of the day or night, however, items can only be picked up between 8am - 4pm, Monday through Friday.

Programs
project id is a service provided by Safety & Security to aid the University community in the recovery of lost or stolen items. Valuables are engraved with a unique number and are entered into a database with the owner's information. When items are recovered the property may be returned. Anyone with questions or an interest in this service should contact us at 980-598-1900.

in case of emergency (ICE) In an emergency, time is critical and getting answers FAST could mean the difference between life and death. ICE: In Case of Emergency allows emergency service providers and public safety personnel to get answers quickly when you are incapacitated.

crime alerts are published throughout campus. Any incidents that require immediate notification to the University community are posted in administrative and academic buildings, residence halls, and other gathering places throughout the campus. These alerts are intended to inform the University Community about criminal activity and assist in maintaining a safer environment for all.
