A university should be a safe haven for both students and their parents. Protecting students, faculty and residents of the area should be the top priority for any university, which is why campus security systems are more important now than ever before.

Here are our five reasons as to why it is crucial for a university to have campus security:

1. Relieves the concerns of parents and incoming students

Safety is, and has always been, a number one factor when

choosing a college. Parents want to feel comfortable leaving their children in

the university’s hands, and students want college to become a home away from

home. Campus security is a major issue today, and it’s

important for campuses to have the necessary security in place to proactively

prevent any crimes from occurring, as well as giving everyone a sense of

security.

2. Helps prevent violence of all kinds

With security systems in place, the NU can

prevent all kinds of violence on campus. Violence and sexual harassment that

some students unfortunately fall victim to predominantly take place late at night

in locations that are not well-lit. Patrolling security guards provide peace of

mind and are able to prevent such assaults, as well as being able to respond

right away to any reports or to even stop the act as it is occurring.

3. Manages student diversity

College campuses are growing more and more

diverse throughout the country, which is why it is important that any tension

or conflicts that may exist among the student body does not escalate into

violence. Campus security guards can be present during any student protests

that occur or any other campus events that may potentially lead to violence.

4. Makes sure first responders are ready

It is unlikely that there will be a fatal attack on campus, but in the

unfortunate scenario in which someone is acting in an aggravated and violent

way on campus, every second counts and can be the difference between life or

death. Having campus security guards available to respond right away before law

enforcement does is a huge benefit and can help the situation before it

escalates further.

5. Addresses issues with students

Universities are known for nightlife activities and on some nights

things can get out of hand, especially on the weekends. It is always a good

idea to have security guards downtown or patrolling the perimeter or campus to

deal with many of these issues, such as when alcohol, drugs or violence are

involved.
