Campus security services

Colleges and universities of all sizes hire us to work with their existing campus security teams. In addition to bringing more threat deterrence and peace of mind to campus, we provide security consultations for custom strategies that balance safety and inclusiveness.

Campus services

Student safety is our focus

Our security guards understand campus settings, from student housing to parking patrol to safety escorts. They also understand the complex dynamics of campus life, as students adjust to new levels of freedom and navigate new social situations.

Seamless integration

We act as an extension of campus security

Our security guards do not replace campus security teams; they work with them and bring fresh eyes and broad industry expertise to help them be more effective. Our security guards also know how to coordinate with local law enforcement.

Threat deterrence

Visibility, vision, and vigilance

A highly visible presence is the first step in threat deterrence. That is why our campus security guards always wear brightly colored uniforms. We also offer bike and mobile patrols. When we map out posts and patrols, we break the campus into overlapping zones for complete coverage.

We also provide escort security services for faculty, students, and visitors who require additional security. Whether you’re navigating campus after dark, unfamiliar routes, or facing heightened risk, our professionals are here to accompany you from start to finish.

True partnership

We will be a true partner, not just a vendor

We will not just fill posts and disappear. What we will do is start with a meticulously planned, fully transparent transition process from your current provider to GardaWorld Security. Then, a dedicated, local account manager will spend time on your campus and establish points of contact between our security guards and your campus security team to make sure instructions and protocols are clear. We are a true partner to the communities around the campuses we serve, and seek clients who want to do the same.
