Services
Bicycle Unit
In addition to cruiser and foot patrol, 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Special Constables are frequently found patrolling 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and affiliate campuses on bikes.
Bicycle patrols allow Special Constables quick access to all areas of campus, including many of the path and walk ways that are not accessible by vehicle.
Equally important, travelling on bike allows our Special Constables greater opportunity to engage in conversation and answer inquiries from persons on campus.
Cycling safety and bicycle theft prevention are some of the initiatives offered through the bicycle patrol unit.

Safety and Security Audits
Our CS
and security audits, registers all of our video monitoring cameras, conducts B & E follow-ups in some cases, provides traffic management advice and is involved in other duties that support a Safe Campus Community.
Video Monitoring
Video monitoring cameras are installed internally and externally at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 in support of personal Safety and property Security. Signage, as noted above, is posted near camera locations throughout campus to provide awareness in residences, in academic and administrative buildings and near security areas such as retail establishments to advise the community that video monitoring is in effect. Cameras also view parking lots and streets in an effort to support safety on campus.
A CSPTED review always precedes the placement of any camera and this is followed by recommendations that relate to placement, viewing area, and responsibilities. Simultaneous to installation the ‘responsible person’ for the camera(s) receives training and must acknowledge their responsibilities in writing, in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and 澳门六合彩开奖预测’s Video Monitoring policy.
While WTS provides technical support for the approximately 600 cameras at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, Campus Police monitor these and are able to focus on areas that require attention.
New Installation
Any new installation requires a formal request from a department head to the Director, Campus Safety and Emergency Services. This is then followed by a 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Special Constable Service security review to determine the need for a camera and identify the purpose, location and the best security safeguards available.
Video monitoring is but one small aspect of 澳门六合彩开奖预测’s overall Safety Network. Other facets include community members being encouraged to stay safe and to contact 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Special Constable Service with information about suspicious activity or any personal safety concern.
Personal Information Collection Notice - Video Monitoring
