Request Security for an Event
Event security is one of the services offered by PNW Campus Police. Many factors determine the need for our services, and we will work with organizations to make the events as safe as possible at the lowest possible cost.
Every event needs an emergency action plan so that problems caused by weather, power outages or other issues can be handled effectively. Campus police will consult with the event sponsors prior to making the final decision on police and security staffing levels. The officers hired for any event will be paid by the events Fund and Cost Center Numbers.
