Security services

The University's Security Service operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We offer crime prevention advice, patrol the campus, investigate crimes and respond to alarms and emergencies.

Download the SafeZone app so you can get support quickly from the University Security Service if you need it. This is an app that everyone on campus can use to ask for help. It is there to give you extra peace of mind in addition to the other support offered by the University. It is linked to the University's Security Team who are on call to help you 24/7. 

The app is free, easy to use and can help with physical or mental health incidents, non-emergency and emergency situations.

We are here to help throughout the day, including outside office hours, and offer a range of security services to include:

  • urgent/emergency support when other University services are not open
  • initial response to emergency situations, reports of suspicious activity and alarms
