Campus Security
Security Considerations in Maintenance of Campus Facilities
The Norfolk State
University Facilities Management Department maintains the University’s buildings
and grounds with a concern for safety and security. Daily inspections are made
by the police department’s security officers, police officers and physical plant
repair and maintenance staff to spot any changes in interior and exterior
lighting conditions. The police dispatcher enters reported defective lighting
conditions, trouble calls and repair calls into the Facilities Management’s
computerized maintenance and repair system. Several departments collaborate to
ensure that the grounds are kept adequate to ensure safety through scheduled
procedures for cutting and pruning trees and shrubbery.
Lighting and shrubbery surveys are conducted on as needed by the Community
Policing/ Crime Prevention Unit. The surveys are forward to the Director of
Facilities Management. These surveys address existing conditions and may include
recommendations for repairs and improvements. Additionally, during the course of
the officers’ normal patrols they report hazardous conditions.
For information regarding how to report a crime, contact University Police at
(757) 823-8102.
