5) What security measures have you noticed on this campus? Do you think these measures are worthwhile? Why or Why not?
- The security measures that I've noticed on the NYIT campus are emergency phones, and the security vehicles circling around the outside of the campus in the parking lots. I think that there should be security inside the campus as well, just in case anything happens because anything can happen in a blink of an eye. There should be more precautions inside the campus. I think these measures are kind of worthwhile because I feel safe when I am outside of the campus, such as the parking lot.

What role would you like to see security have on campus indoors? Good answers to the questions.
i agree, i feel they should also have a security at each parking lot especially by education hall because we are so far away from everything.
Thats so true......all the security is stationed outside the campus buildings and their is no id required to enter anyone of the campus buildings....damn i never thought of that. I guess each building such have a little sub section of secuirty within the building such in case something were to occur within the building...
emergency phones can be a good help.
