The University of Toledo

Security Officers

The University Police Department also includes 12 Security Officers assigned to the Health Science Campus. Security Officers are uniformed, un-armed individuals who provide an additional layer of safety and customer services. The staff works out of room 007 in the basement of the Mulford Library.

All Security Officers are trained and certified in the use of the county-wide 911 computer aided dispatch system, as well as the state Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computer. They are responsible for answering all incoming phone calls to the police department’s Health Science communications center (419.383.2600) and for requesting the appropriate public safety crews.

Security Officers make routine foot patrols of all buildings on the Health Science Campus as well as patrolling the parking lots at HSC. They actively monitor the campus for any suspicious activity, safety hazards, and unsecured areas. Security Officers assist the campus community by providing directions; safety escorts to individuals; assisting police officers; and conducting monthly fire drills and security checks of all buildings on HSC.
