Security Supervisor

The mandate of Campus Security and Emergency Services (CSES) is to promote a safe and welcoming environment that recognizes and is respectful of the diverse nature of the Queen's University Community.

Reporting to the Managers, CSES, the Security Supervisor (Supervisor) is responsible for the safety and security of university faculty, staff, students and visitors and to protect university property. The Supervisor implements the policies and procedures of the university’s security program and maintains compliance with all applicable regulations and laws to ensure the safety of the campus.

The Supervisor is responsible for the direct supervision of all on duty Security Practitioners (Practitioners), Patrollers, and Emergency Report Centre (ERC) operators, and to provide guidance and direction to other university staff and students as required. Being primarily an investigative arm of CSES they conduct thorough investigations, ensuring statements are obtained from witnesses and victims, evidence collected with the victims’ interests and protection at the forefront.

Committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and in a collaborative team environment, the Supervisor interacts with students, faculty, staff, visitors, and community partners providing holistic security for the university. This is accomplished by being involved with internal and external Committees and positively engaging the campus community by attending events and performing foot patrols. Furthermore, the Supervisors provide risk and safety recommendations which may include Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) evaluations or other risk assessments to students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the university during daily routines and investigations.

Providing an essential service to the university community on a 7/24/365 basis, the Supervisor will work rotating shifts and irregular overtime, sometimes at short notice, including covering for staff who are sick or in response to emergency situations.
