Abstract
Although there are different styles of security and policing to suit the unique needs of particular campuses, one of the most effective campus security techniques is to employ students who are given the powers and responsibilities to participate actively in carrying out the security department’s mandate. Student patrollers who are members of security have a sense of loyalty and responsibility to fulfill their mandate as members of security. Canadian schools have varying levels of student involvement in campus security and policing. Some student auxiliaries are fully integrated into the campus security or police department, some schools use student volunteers as safety escorts, and other schools have no student involvement at all, relying on their regular security personnel.
