Night patrol team

The department has a committed team of Residence patrollers that work overnight during the term time to provide extra security around the accommodation blocks and also to be available for any welfare issues that might occur out of hours.

The residence patrollers are available during the night if any student feels that they need to talk with somebody or they have a concern that they would like to discuss but don’t feel comfortable talking to the patrol.

Having the Residence patrollers also means that they are able to assist the patrol with emergencies like looking for students who are reported missing or helping with fire evacuations. Also all of the Residence patrollers are first aid trained which means in an emergency they are normally the first point of contact.

While the residence patrollers are making their rounds they are also able to check for any health and safety risks and check that the fire fighting equipment has not been tampered with.

The patrollers are also available to sort out disputes that might occur between flatmates before they escalate. This usually involves monitoring noise levels and making sure that during study weeks students are able to revise in peace.
