January 31,1992 page six "Just what does security do?” Security Chief Informs Student Body on Duties, Services by Gilda Boyd This article is written at the request of Dan Shattuck, Chief of Security at Meredith College. Any material in this piece is information that Chief Shattuck has been asked to provide to the smdent body by SGA President, Ann Hiott. This article is to inform the students of Meredith College of the responsibilities and required duties of campus security and of services our security already provides. One of the most recent innovations was the installation of the blue light emergency phones. There are ten strategic locaUons around campus at which these phones have been placed; in the parking lot behind the gym, in front of Cate Center, a the infirmary, at the back gate to Wade Avenue, on the hill toward Haircloth Street, two in the “Green sticker” parking lot—one at the lake and the other at the lower end of the lot, on the main road a Wainwright, behind the Alumnae House, and on the new road in the curve. Shattuck states that these phones are for anything from locking keys in the car to seeing something suspicious or dangerous. It keeps the students from having to return to her room to call security. The phones are used “just like walkie- talkies,” says Shattuck. When reporting a suspicious or dangerous situation, report it as quickly as possible. “We would rather have a false alarm” than have someone get hurt. Shattuck also states the student will be treated with the “utmost respect,” and all calls are taken seriously. He requests that students not postpone reporting any incident. If no contact can be made immediately, please contact security at the first available time. Students have expressed problems they have had with security, even a particular officer. Shattuck asks that when reporting an officer, do so immediately. If the officer is a member of night security, take down his/her name, the time of the incident, and where the incident occurred, and call Shattuck the next morning. In case of EXTREME problems, Shattuck says calling him at home is appropriate. Following these steps will assure the officer will be reprimanded int eh correct manner. Shattuck encourages the use of the “We Deliver” cards, but since he will eventually need to contact the student, he asks that any problems be directly reported to him. Questions have been brought to Shattuck's attention about the policy of picking up on-campus students from off-campus. He commented that students needing a ride from the airport or even having car trouble off-campus may request security’s assistance. In his reply to the parking situaUon on campus, Shattuck stated that security “does the best it can with the available manpower." They try to be as “consistent” as possible about checking for wrongly parked cars. With all the other duties security has, it is impossible for them to check cars all day. Just because a friend did not get a ticket for a parking violation, does not guarantee that you will not get a ticket. Just as a reminder, these are places on campus in which no campus resident may park at any time: RD and RL Staff parking places, chapel, hill by the lake, fire lane between Barefoot and Heilman, and nurses’ and doctors’ parking places. Shattuck asks that any questions or concerns about campus security should be directed to him. . . r i.
