Personnel of the Public Safety and University
Police Department are on duty 24 hours a day and have an inherent
responsibility of being alert for emergencies, which may involve
call out of maintenance personnel. These situations cover a
broad range of possibilities, such as electrical outages, broken
water or steam lines, windstorm damages, the effects of vandalism,
heavy snowfall, etc. It shall be standing operation policy
that, when an officer encounters a situation requiring the
immediate attention of maintenance personnel, notification of the
situation be made to the maintenance superintendent and/or the
cognizant foreman. These foremen are identified in memorandum
published periodically by the Maintenance Superintendent. One
or both of these people shall then come to the campus, assess the
situation and take appropriate action.
It is required that any emergency situation
observed by others be reported to the Public Safety and University
Police Department rather then directly to maintenance
personnel. This will alert the officers on duty to the
problem, and, as necessary, permit them to accomplish safe guarding
action as well as notifying the appropriate maintenance
personnel.
