TAMIU Annual Security and Fire Safety Report 2023

25 LAREDO CAMPUS The TAMIU campus is nestled in rolling ranch lands on the eastern edge of Laredo. Mirroring TAMIU?s growth, land in the vicinity of the campus is being developed, and several new residential subdivisions and shopping centers have been built in the last few years. The area immediately surrounding the campus remains largely undeveloped. In keeping with TAMIU?s mission of access for all, the campus is public and open during normal business hours. There are no general prohibitions to keep the public from entering campus; however, the UPD does reserve the right to bar individuals considered a threat to the University community. The UPD is sworn to uphold and enforce all City, State and Federal laws. The University has a strong code of conduct for all members and guests of our community, especially as it relates to enforcement of illegal conduct, alcohol and drug use or distribution, and illegal weapons possession or display. The UPD regularly patrols all campus buildings, including residential facilities. TAMUS-RELLIS ACADEMIC ALLIANCE CAMPUS TAMUS-RELLIS is located in the Brazos Valley of Texas eight miles from Texas A&M University in College Station. The Texas A&M University System owns and manages all physical facilities and daily operations of the RELLIS Academic Alliance Campus (RELLIS) where TAMIU offers an academic program. There are no general prohibitions to keep the public from entering campus; however, the A&M PD does reserve the right to bar individuals considered a threat to the University community. The A&M PD is sworn to uphold and enforce all City, State and Federal laws. A&M PD regularly patrols all campus buildings and provides a security presence 24 hours per day via sworn and un-sworn personnel. ACCESS TO RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND AREAS Working with our housing manager, Greystar Student Living, housing facilities utilize a multi-layer approach to access. By policy, access and use of the residential facilities is restricted to residents, their approved guests, and other authorized members of the University community. The University?s current housing stock includes four residence halls (Residential Learning Community) and a garden-style apartment complex consisting of four, individual buildings (University Village). The Residential Learning Community facility utilizes card swipe technology for buildings and electronic keys for individual rooms. The University Village uses electronic keys to enter through the main door, and regular mechanical keys to enter individual rooms. There is no student housing provided at RELLI S. SECURITY OF CAMPUS Police Officers and Campus Security Officers conduct routine patrols of campus grounds and buildings to evaluate and monitor security-related matters. Officers also respond to calls for service from the campus community and visitors. SECURITY MAINTENANCE Facilities and landscaping are maintained in a manner that minimizes hazardous conditions. PD regularly patrols all campus buildings and reports malfunctioning lights and other unsafe physical conditions to the appropriate facilities management group (physical plant, housekeeping, and/or housing facilities). Other members of the University community should promptly report any maintenance issues, interior or exterior, to facility services staff. Most of our facilities, housekeeping, and housing maintenance staff are provided unique identifying uniforms and/or name badges, enabling University community members to easily identify our facility service teams. Some individuals are not required to wear a uniform or a name badge to complete their daily duties.
