Community called to join survey of safety features

The Special Constable Service invites members of the campus community to join in a survey of fixtures to make sure UWindsor grounds are safe for staff, faculty, students, and visitors.

The annual lighting survey involves touring the campus and observing building perimeter lights, foliage, and emergency alert poles.

The Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Reports are essential to create a feeling of safety on campus, says staff sergeant Michelle Farrah-Nohra.

“Although there are many safety features in place, we are constantly assessing natural surveillance, target hardening, access control, and much more,” she says. “We take great pride in the safety features that exist on campus, however there is always the potential to improve.”

The survey is conducted in two phases: main campus at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3; and the downtown campus at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17.

Volunteers will receive refreshments and snacks. To sign up, email Farrah-Nohra at fara@uwindsor.ca.
