Their services include all night survey of the campus; concern for the safety and protection of all personnel, investigating and reporting fire, safety and environmental hazards, open and/or broken windows and doors, property damage, building and campus lighting, law violations, violations of college regulations on college property, and motor vehicle violations. Security officers may ask for IDs, and they deserve full cooperation of all community members in the exercise of their responsibilities.
