Security Services

York St John University prides itself on having a safe and secure campus where students and staff can enjoy living, learning and working in a community environment.

Our security service is provided by SPS Security Services, a dedicated 24-hour security team that are present on campus 365 days a year. We also have a comprehensive CCTV network on all our sites, with cameras strategically positioned on the exterior of the buildings.

There is a member of the Security Team present on University property to assist at all times. Staff and students should make them their first call in the event of accidents, incidents and problems arising out of hours.

Our security team have also introduced body worn cameras for their staff to be used appropriately at all times, providing a range of benefits such as

Obtaining essential video footage for use in security reporting and evidencing e.g real time recording of Health and Safety breaches
Increase student/staff reassurance and quicker resolution of complaints
Reduce assaults on security team members
Help with the training of security staff

The Security Lodge is located in the Music Block opposite Holgate main Reception.
