Safety and Security

Unitec security staff operate from the Safety and Security Centre and patrol the campus at all times. They can be identified by their uniforms and/or identification cards.

With the large number of people on campus, please ensure that you take every precaution to protect your personal property, especially purses, wallets and bags.

The local community constables liaise with the Centre and can also assist students and staff.

During campus hours, safety and security staff can be reached at the Safety and Security Centre. Please do not hesitate to report any suspicious circumstances to the USU or any Unitec staff member.
