Security and Emergency Services
Ryerson Security maintains a 24-hour facility located at
111 Bond Street. Ryerson has taken the following steps to
help make our campus safe and secure:
• Bike patrol unit, distinguished by their bike uniform
(e.g., yellow jackets). These officers carry out the same
duties as foot patrol officers but offer a highly enhanced
response time to community needs.
• 24-hour uniformed security officers make regular patrols
and identification checks. When on campus, have your
Ryerson OneCard (photo ID) or you may be denied access
to a lab or classroom.
• Posting of “Security Watch” bulletins; see www.ryerson.
