Housing Security

Housing Security officers maintain a daily and nightly presence to keep you safe by offering assistance to residents, investigating incidents and monitoring safety and security systems. We also meet with individual residents and groups about campus safety. We are comprised of security officers, access control specialists and personnel assigned as liaisons to the U-M Police Department and the Office of Student Life.

We also:

• Perform security patrols by foot, bicycle and vehicle
• Assign dedicated security officers to residence halls
• Respond to criminal complaints and general assistance
• Conduct preliminary investigations in collaboration with the U-M Police Department
• Provide escorts and unlocks to residents
• Manage access control and security cameras
• Work closely with Michigan Housing to proactively provide education and training on crime prevention, fire safety and emergency preparedness

Housing Security is dedicated to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents, staff and visitors utilizing Michigan Housing property.

Through proactive engagement and partnership with our community, we pledge to provide professional service to all who live, work or visit Michigan Housing facilities.

Security officers patrol housing properties by foot, bicycle and vehicle to deter crime and respond to the needs of residents. Officers also are assigned to residence halls to promote a culture of familiarity and approachability.

Through regular patrols, officers deter crime and identify safety hazards, potential threats and security concerns. In addition to responding to service requests, Housing Security also provides education and training in the areas of crime prevention, fire safety and emergency preparedness.
