- Book a Security Agent through our online requisition form. The Security Agent will be given all the necessary keys and will escort the requestor for the access required. There is a minimum 4 hour booking.

Working Late or Alone
It is not recommended to work alone at night. But if it is absolutely necessary, you can request that one of our Security Agents visit you. If possible, plan ahead and let us know a few days in advance when you'll be working late. Send an email to campus [dot] security [at] mcgill [dot] ca during regular business hours, or call us at 514-398-4556.

Walking Alone at Night - Walksafe
McGill Walksafe is a student-run organization that provides a safe alternative to walking or taking public transportation alone at night. Students and community members are able to request an escort by calling 398-2498 or by stopping a Walksafe patrol team on the street. While not on escort, Walksafe patrol teams maintain a visible presence in the McGill community. All patrol teams are easily identified by their red jackets with McGill Walksafe on the back and the two-way radio they use for communication. For more details you may visit their website at: www.ssmu.mcgill.ca/walksafe/Hours.htm
What to do when Walksafe is not available? Call Security Services at 514-398-3000 (downtown). When Walksafe is not available, Security Services agents will provide the service within certain limits.

Patrols
A Patroller's duty goes beyond responding to alarms and emergencies. Patrollers are also trained to detect safety hazards, maintenance deficiencies and more. On campus 24/7, they can be of assistance in a matter of minutes. When there is no incident requiring their presence, you may see them around campus, building relationships with the McGill community.
