Security snippets

Security cameras on campus

The first of a series of security cameras is up and running on campus covering the Hockey Pitch area. This new facility will enable Security to greatly enhance the safety to people and belongs in the area, particularly the car park area. More cameras are to be installed in the near future to allow for better surveillance of the Peninsula campus grounds.

Break-ins on campus

A sigh of relief was heard when the news came in that a suspect had
been apprehended in relation to the recent spate of car break-ins in and
around the campus. However we can never afford to become complacent.
Be alert: report suspicious activity to Security on extn 44318
