Known issues
Occasional delays in responding to non-emergency calls have been reported, particularly during major campus events. This is due to the prioritization of emergency situations. To mitigate this, additional staff are deployed during busy periods. For non-urgent matters, consider calling during less busy times or using online resources if available. Always have relevant information ready to expedite the process, such as location and nature of the issue. This ensures a more efficient and effective response from the security team.
