9.00am – Bike Safety
A number of secure bike racks exist around campus
for people who ride to University. Security Services
can lend bike locks to students and staff who have
forgotten their own. Security Services has a close
relationship with South Australian Police and they hold
free bike engraving days on campus.
12.00pm – Emergency Services Planning
Susan Whittington maintains the University’s warden
network for all campuses, assisting a contracted service
provider to ensure 800 wardens are trained to specific
requirements. If an emergency situation does occur,
Security Officers are prepared to respond to the situation.
3.00pm – Lost Property
Lost property remains at Security Services for two
months before it is donated. Clothes are given to
charity while stationary and calculators are donated
to the Adelaide University Union to be passed on to
disadvantaged students. Unclaimed bikes are given
to Containers of Hope, a charity that sends donated
items to less fortunate people overseas.
5.00pm – Self-Defence Classes
The Security team runs free self-defence classes,
which are popular among staff and students.
8.00pm – Emergency Phones
“We’re everything
to everyone. Or
if we’re not, at
least we know
who to go to.”
Across the University’s campuses there are 23 dedicated
emergency phones that will put the caller straight
through to Security Services. Along with building and lift
checks, these phones are tested every weekend.
11.00pm – Safe Steps
The Safe Steps program reminds everyone on campus
to look out for their own personal safety and the safety
of those around them.
