Emergencies & Personal Safety Campus safety is always a priority at King’s. In addition to the RAs in residence and the Resident Manager, we have collaborated efforts with the Residence Information Desk, Campus Security, and Campus Police. Residence Security Residence security is everyone's responsibility. You can help by following these security guidelines: • keep exterior doors closed and locked • lock the door to your room • close your window when you leave your room • keep security restrictors on your windows • do not lend your keys to anyone • report any thefts, security problems, or potential problems • follow all instructions given by security or residence staff • discourage “tailgating” (letting others follow you in) • Never prop open a building door
The RID The Residence Information Desk, or RID. is located in Alumni Court. Among other things, the RID. serves as a resource desk and point of contact for residence concerns. Generally, it is from here on-duty residence staff, security, and campus police is dispatched. The RID is open 2 p.m.–7 a.m. operated by either student staff or security personnel.
Campus Security Security personnel at King’s primarily safeguard the campus environment as a whole, but they also assist students. Security can contact campus police and/or residence staff at a moment’s notice 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Contact Campus security: at 519-521-6215 or from security phones at the parking booths in the upper lot parking and the east parking lot next to the seminary.
