Begun in January, new student security patrol teams are assisting students and serving as an extension of the campus security department. “The student security patrols are visible, on the move and offering aid to any person in need,” said Don Little, director of security.
Two teams, each with a male and female student, assist students from 6:30-11:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and are clearly visible wearing jackets or t-shirts saying CSU student security patrol. Patrol members receive training and are offered CPR and first aid training.
Teams will patrol campus locations, and each team is available to escort students to and from classes and parking lots. Teams will carry a CSU radio in order to contact a security officer if additional assistance is needed.
“To request assistance, call 20# from any campus landline phone, or call 843-553-5896 from your cell phone or from off-campus, and a team will be dispatched to assist you,” said Little.
