Humber College and University of Guelph-Humber (Humber) know that the safety of our community is paramount to ensure our students and staff can study/work in the safest space possible. When incidents do occur, a quick, efficient, reliable response from our security staff is imperative to ensuring a quick resolution.  As part of its ongoing goal of continuous improvement, training and education, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) is implementing an exercise program for security guards. The aim of the exercise program is to provide real-life scenarios to guards that allows them to practice their response to various scenarios in a safe, controlled setting. 

Front-line security guards will be participating in the first of these exercises the week of July 11-15, 2022, at both the North and Lakeshore campuses. In an effort to minimize the impact on the campus community, exercises will take place at times when fewer people are expected to be on campus. Exercises will take place as follows: 

• Lakeshore campus – July 11 and 13 at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. in the basement of F building
• North campus – July 12 and 14 at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. KB cafeteria

Signage will be placed in the exercise area to identify that an exercise is taking place. Exercise participants will be identified by wearing orange vests that indicate “Exercise Participant” on the back. Any community members who may be in the area are asked to not interfere with the exercise activity. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nancy Deason, Manager, Security Operations, North Campus at nancy.deason@humber.ca or Thomas Urbaniak, Assistant Manager, Security Operations, Lakeshore Campus at thomas.urbaniak@humber.ca.
