Pace Security At A Glance

Fire Alarms and Trucks

 

The Volunteer Fire Departments of Briarcliff and Pleasantville have addressed many incidents on the Pace-Pleasantville campus last month.

“Anytime a fire alarm goes off the fire department is required to respond by state law,” Executive Director of Safety and Security Vincent Beatty said. “Even if the alarm is going off due to a faulty or dirty device the fire department along with the police still need to follow procedure.”

 

Parking Lots with Snow

 

Many students have complained that plows have been hitting their cars while in the parking lots.

“If plows are hitting cars, not one student has reported an incident,” Beatty said.

In all parking lots there are security cameras in place. If there is any type of vehicle issue within the parking lot the cameras can be removed and looked over, which is what would occur in the event that a plow had hit a car.

“The cameras do overwrite themselves on a weekly basis though so if a student were to report and file an incident it would be in their best interest to do so as soon as possible,” Beatty said.

With the amount of snow that has accumulated in the last month there have been more plows in the parking lots and less parking availability due to the piles of snow. The security offices and the security vehicles contain shovels if students need them to shovel their cars out of the parking lot.
