For many people, Community Protection is the office in the University Centre where lost and found is located. While this is a service Community Protection offers, there is much more. Community Protection is actually a crime prevention office.  More specifically, the office encourages community members to take part in various crime prevention programs designed to counter crime on our campus. Community Protection is an auxiliary service of Protection Services and works in partnership with the Foot Patrol Service.
