Public Safety

  1. All departments and facilities defined as support or auxiliary services of the University, auxiliary to its academic function, are charged for routine and special security services on an hourly basis. The hourly chargeback rate is established by a review of approved salary lines within Pubic Safety's budget, with an administrative cost adjustment factor programmed into the final computation. Some of these areas include the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Residence Halls, Food Service, Ice Rink, etc. Effective 7/01/08, the charge for security services will be based on a square footage basis. The percentage of square footage of each auxiliary or NTID area (area square footage divided by the total gross square footage of the campus) is multiplied by the Public Safety Department's operating budget. Square footage figures are provided by Facilities Management.
  2. Safety or parking coverage for special events, regardless of the initiating department, is available by contacting Gil Ong of the Parking and Transportation Department. Information regarding rates for full-time and contract officers is available through his office (ext. 5-5593 or gxocps@rit.edu).
