PROTECTION SERVICES FOR THE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT
PalAmerican provides security officer services ranging from small satellite campuses to large urban universities. We understand that each facility presents its own unique set of challenges and cultural features, and so our selection process is tailored to fit your campus with the right security team.
Having helped to secure millions of students across North American, we recognize that campus risk factors can vary depending on the location and type of campus, as well as the layout and student body makeup. In order to maintain safety and security while supporting the learning environment, our security services focus on open-structured buildings, parking lots, vehicle threats, food-and-drink establishments, property theft risks, student misconduct, and campus property and trespasser threats.

CAMPUS SECURITY SERVICES AND EMERGENCY PLANNING
Whenever we begin a new contract, we conduct a comprehensive security risk assessment before initiating formal security staff services. This assessment is multi-focused, with an emphasis on crime data, facility and staff security concerns, the layout of the facilities, and historical security concerns. This is one of the many ways we tailor our security program to your campus.
OFFICERS WHO UNDERSTAND CAMPUS SECURITY
Our esteemed screening, selection, and training process ensures that every officer is equipped and trained to handle anything they might encounter while patrolling your campus. From counter-terrorism training and prevention to events and activities, and even media training, our officers are prepared for any situation that may arise at your institution with a customer service-focused approach. We understand that campuses are a place where students learn and make memories — and security should promote that environment. That is why our officers receive Mental Health First Aid or ASSIST training to support rather than enforce.
