McMaster is a community and supporting the students, faculty and staff who work, study, and live at the university is a priority for campus security.  To better align security with the support it provides at McMaster, the Security Services unit is being renamed Campus Safety Services.  

“We have a diverse campus in a variety of locations, and we interact with people across the university, especially students. Learning about their concerns and interests is an important way that we can make sure we reflect the values and principles of the university in our work,” said Ivan L’Ortye, interim Director of Campus Safety Services.

The search for the permanent Director of Campus Safety Services will soon be underway with a selection committee that includes representation from across McMaster.

 We’re also pleased to share that Melanie Hayter has recently been appointed to the role of Senior Manager and Staff Sergeant, for Campus Safety Services.  

 We’d like to thank Ivan, Melanie and the entire team for their ongoing partnership, commitment,and service to Campus Safety.
