Security & Community Ambassador Services
Overview
The mission of The University of Winnipeg Security & Community Ambassador Services is to provide a safe atmosphere and ensure the safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the University, while preserving a philosophy of unhindered community access.
Security & Community Ambassador Services at The University of Winnipeg is a community-oriented service. The department serves the University community primarily through its Security function, while the Ambassador program deals with broader community outreach issues.
The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) operates the SafeWalk program during the Fall and Winter sessions. SafeWalk will provide students, staff, and faculty with an escort to their car or bus stop within a one-block radius of the University.
Security also provides safe escorts to members of the University community at any time, either through the SafeWalk or SafeRide program. The service is intended to get students, faculty, staff and visitors safely to their bus stop, vehicle, or residence. SafeRide will provide students, staff, and faculty with a safe escort within the patrol area boundaries: William Avenue to the north, Assiniboine Avenue to the south, Sherbrook Street to the west and Main Street to the east.
The University’s Security & Community Ambassador Services works closely with the Winnipeg Police Service, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, the RCMP, the Department of Justice community prosecutor, Downtown BIZ, West End BIZ and other community based organizations in the area.
