[0:32] At the Macdonald Campus, we’re located in Laird Hall. And at the downtown campus, we’re in the Burnside building. We offer a range of services to help provide a positive experience at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥.

[0:50] Our agents receive training that prepares them for a variety of emergencies including Active Shooter situations.

[0:58] We also organize and plan full scale and tabletop simulations that help us be ready in the event of a variety of crisis situations.

[1:07] In the event of an emergency, you can dial 911 from any ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ telephone. 911 calls from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ telephones are monitored by Security Services so that we can automatically dispatch an agent to the location while you are directed to 911. If you call 911 from a cellphone, don’t forget to alert Security Services downtown by calling 514 398 3000 or at Mac call 514 398 7777 as we are only able to monitor ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ calls from ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ landlines. You can also contact Security Services from any of the emergency telephones placed around both campuses by pressing the red button.

[1:51] Another good number to know is the tips line (514 398 TIPS). Any information that could help solve or prevent a crime can be given to Security by leaving an anonymous message.

[2:02] Montreal is a safe and exciting cosmopolitan city. It offers students and staff a great place to live, study and work. At Security Services we are here 24/7 to help make your experience here safe and enjoyable. ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ Security Services, working with you for a safe community.
