Reminder about campus safety

This message is being sent on behalf of Tom Lynch, director, Office of Campus Safety. Please direct inquiries to tom.lynch@dc-uoit.ca.

The Office of Campus Safety (OCS) is committed to protecting the rights of everyone on campus while promoting a professional, respectful and safe campus environment. We value respect for others and believe safety and security are the responsibility of everyone on campus.

Please see below for a few initiatives that can help keep you safe on campus.

Reporting suspicious behaviour

If you have concerns regarding your personal safety or if you observe behaviour that is suspicious or that may have a negative impact on the campus, please report it immediately to OCS by calling Campus Security at 905.721.2000 ext. 2400 or 905.721.3211.

Code Blue stations

Code Blue stations are nine-foot red poles with blue lights on top located in parking lots, footpaths and within the Campus Library. Each pole has a button you can press to gain instant contact with the Campus Security desk. Once notified, Campus Security will send a guard to your location and, if required, emergency services will be dispatched.
