Security for Colleges and Universities
MGP supports colleges and universities with contract officers for residence halls, academic buildings, athletic venues and campus events, working alongside campus police or public safety departments.
Campus Security Challenges
Open campuses serve thousands of students, staff and visitors every day, often around the clock.
- Residence hall access and guest policies
- Open academic buildings and research labs
- Large athletic events and commencement
- Late-night patrols and safety escorts
- Protests and demonstrations
- Clery Act and Title IX reporting duties
How MGP Supports Campuses
MGP officers add capacity to the campus public safety department. They staff residence hall desks, patrol buildings and grounds, provide safety escorts and staff events. Officers follow the institution’s reporting procedures, including reporting Clery crimes as Campus Security Authorities and routing Title IX concerns to the designated office.
- Residence hall desk and access control
- Building lock and unlock rounds
- Safety escort service
- Athletic, arts and commencement event staffing
- Lab and research facility access control
- Security desk, video and access control monitoring on client systems
Working With Campus Police
Many institutions have a sworn campus police department or a public safety office. MGP contract officers handle non-sworn duties so sworn officers can focus on law enforcement. Where an institution wants additional sworn coverage and local rules allow, MGP can coordinate off-duty police officer service.
