Volunteer opportunities
Community presence
Volunteers target high traffic areas where community members may require information, guidance or assistance in contacting campus security personnel.
Speed watch
Speed watch shifts encourage and promote safe driving at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV by monitoring and recording speeding at high vehicle traffic areas on the Burnaby campus.
Auto theft prevention
Auto theft shifts target parking lots that are susceptible to high accounts of theft. This shift educates community members on ways to reduce incidences of vehicle theft.
Safety audits
SSEP conducted safety audits are designed to be supplemental to proactive safety activities conducted by ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV safety committees. During audits, SSEP personnel follow the safety checklist and look for potential hazards that could pose a danger to anyone on campus.
Theft prevention
Theft prevention shifts target areas that are susceptible to or have high accounts of theft. Volunteers hand out theft prevention slips, engage in conversations with owners of unattended items, create presentations for booth sessions and more.
Lost & found / Information centre
The SSEP is responsible for collecting, documenting and storing lost and found items at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Burnaby, as well as for assisting at the campus information centre. Volunteers learn database skills and develop customer service skills.
