  • Coordinate with Housing & Residence Life on-call team, or campus police, when circumstances or resident issues require continued follow-up.
  • Develop and maintain written overnight safety operating procedures, expectations, training materials, shift protocols, and escalation procedures.
  • Collaborate with Housing & Residence Life leadership to assess appropriate deployment of Overnight Safety staff based on building population, entrance configuration, incident history, and identified risk.
