University security services will provide summary statistical reports on a periodic basis to selected university management to ensure greater awareness and assist future planning with respect to maintaining a safe and secure university environment. These reports remain confidential and privacy legislation provisions as well as the university’s own privacy policy are applied to ensure proper use of an individual’s recorded details.

Reports Made to Police

  1. Where any security related incident has also been reported to a recognised law enforcement or other relevant agency, the university security services will, where necessary, liaise appropriately with the representatives of such agency.
