Security Services

Keeping CU Boulder safe through people, technology, and partnership

Security Services supports the safety, security, and well-being of the University of Colorado Boulder community through a coordinated approach that integrates modern security technology, trained personnel, and strong campus partnerships. Our work aligns with the Division of Public Safety’s commitment to integrity, innovation, and operational excellence. 

Through proactive prevention, visible support, and coordinated response, Security Services helps ensure that students, faculty, staff, and visitors can learn, live, work, and gather on campus with confidence. 

What We Do

Security Technology Services

Security Services designs, implements, and sustains critical public safety technology systems that strengthen prevention, response, and investigative capabilities across campus. These systems form the backbone of CU Boulder’s security infrastructure and are continuously evaluated to meet evolving needs. 

Community Safety

Community Safety programs provide a visible, service-oriented presence that strengthens campus safety through engagement, deterrence, and coordinated support—particularly within buildings, at events, and in residential communities. 

Protective Services

Protective Services provides specialized security planning and coordination for individuals, official functions, and select campus activities that require an elevated level of preparation and awareness. Services are delivered with an emphasis on discretion, professionalism, and continuity of operations, in close coordination with CUPD and campus partners. 

Flight Operations

CU Boulder Flight Operations enhances campus safety through aerial monitoring and incident assessment. By providing real-time situational awareness during events and emergency situations, the team supports informed decision-making and coordinated response efforts across the university.

How We Work

Security Services is grounded in professional standards and strong relationships. Our work is guided by the following priorities: 

Community Engagement

Building trust and promoting awareness of safety resources and practices 

Training & Professional Development

Ensuring preparedness, de-escalation capability, and effective response 

Collaboration

Coordinated planning and operations with CU Boulder Police, Residence Life, Student Life, Facilities Management, and other campus partners to support a dynamic campus environment
