Campus Security

Campus Security is responsible for the safety and security of students, employees, staff and property at UBC's Okanagan campus. Service is provided 365 days per year, with 24 hour, campus-wide coverage. All security guards are first aid trained with Level II, AED, CPR and other emergency response procedures. Campus Security is here to ensure that everyone on campus is provided a safe, secure environment to live and learn in, giving you a place of mind.

Emergency Response

The Director of Security & Parking Services works with Health, Safety and Environment and Facilities departments to coordinate responses to all emergency situations including fire, accident/illness, crime, hazardous spills/gas leaks, and bomb threats. Any incident should be reported to Campus Security at 250.807.8111 or Local 78111 or through regional emergency services at 8-911. When utilizing 911 a follow-up call should be made to Security at 250.807.8111 or Local 78111.

Emergency Phones
