Facilities Security
General Campus Facilities
Campus Safety patrols the Cheyenne campus facilities 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Access to facilities is limited to days when classes are in session or during
scheduled events or other approved activities.
Normally, campus facilities will be unlocked at 6 a.m., or at least 30 minutes prior
to the start of a special function, and will be locked by the campus custodians and
checked by safety officers at 10 p.m. or the time specified. Safety officers on duty
patrolling the buildings will inspect all facilities.
The inspections include doors (locks operating properly/closing/opening), windows,
lighting (interior/exterior), excessive vegetation growth (trees/bushes) near buildings.
Any issues will be documented on the safety log maintained by the officer and given
to the physical plant the next working day unless it results in a severe security
and safety issue. In that case, the on-call maintenance person is notified.
Residence Halls
Campus Safety officers monitor residence hall facilities and their adjacent parking
lots. During their shift, officers are required to check the exterior doors to the
residence halls at least four times and check the RA Station and Common Area at least
twice.
Only when two officers are on duty can they go through the living area of the halls between
midnight and 8 a.m.
Off-campus Facilities
Criminal activity at any off-campus function is dealt with by the local law enforcement
agency, which initiates and handles the report. The agency will then notify Campus
Safety, which will assist as requested.
