The Security Services Team, led by Jamie Daniluck with key support from Rebecca Flemming, are unsung heroes when is comes to their behaviour, attitude, actions and contribution to our University community. Beyond being the first point of call in responding to on-campus incidents, they engage proactively with our local emergency services, monitor campus life in an unobtrusive but engaging manner with our students and staff, and ensure high quality input into complex matters of safety and security.
