Campus security maintains a presence on campus, responds to requests for service and reports, supplies on-demand security for special events, and more. Shift supervisors are trained in first aid, CPR, AED, and Narcan administration. Shift supervisors serve as the designated first responders for the UB community 24/7/365.
