Our staff conduct patrols of the campus and buildings on a routine basis. Patrols document offences and ensure that Acadia policies and procedures are followed. We are also responsible for ensuring all safety equipment is operational.
In an emergency, call 911. Safety and Security has a 911 monitoring system in place on campus. All calls placed to 911 on campus (from a 585- exchange telephone) send a signal to our office so that we can identify the location of the call and respond to the emergency situation immediately.
Safety and Security has several alarm monitoring systems in place. If a fire alarm, intrusion alarm, or panic button is activated, we will receive a signal and emergency procedures will be implemented.
