Join Shenandoah University’s Campus Safety Team!

Shenandoah University’s Department of Campus Safety is seeking dependable, proactive, community-minded individuals to join our team as Campus Safety Officers.

Our department plays a vital role in ensuring that students, faculty, staff, and visitors enjoy a secure, welcoming environment across Shenandoah’s main campus in Winchester, Virginia. Officers are the friendly, professional faces of campus safety - building trust, preventing incidents, and helping our community thrive.

This isn’t your typical security job. It’s an unarmed, non-sworn position focused on prevention, visibility, and engagement rather than enforcement. Officers serve as ambassadors of safety and service, embodying the university’s values of respect, integrity, and community care.

• Conduct regular foot, vehicle, and bicycle patrols of the campus during both day and night shifts.

• Respond to and investigate safety concerns, suspicious activity, or policy violations.

• Secure and unlock university buildings, residence halls, and vehicles as directed.

• Monitor and review surveillance camera systems, documenting and reporting unusual activity.

• Provide professional customer service and assistance to students, staff, faculty, and visitors.

• Support campus operations during special events, emergencies, and adverse weather.

• Issue parking citations and no-trespass notices in accordance with university policy.

• Maintain accurate, detailed Daily Activity Reports and upload records into the electronic database.

• Notify local law enforcement of suspected or confirmed criminal incidents on or near campus.

• Complete and maintain Virginia Campus Security Officer certification (training provided)

The Department of Campus Safety operates 24/7 to serve the Shenandoah University community and its facilities. Our officers promote a culture of respect, service, and accountability through proactive engagement and a professional presence. We partner closely with the Winchester Police Department, Frederick County Emergency Services, and other local agencies to ensure a safe and thriving university environment.
