Chaminade University of Honolulu is dedicated to providing students, faculty, staff, and visitors with a safe and secure campus environment. Our team members, led by the Director of Campus Safety (a full-time university employee), train constantly and maintain a close working relationship with local law enforcement and community leaders. Chaminade partners with Allied Universal Security Services to provide guard services 24-hours a day, seven days per week. Our security officers are licensed by the State of Hawaii Security Guard program and consistently exceed the minimum training requirements of the program. All are trained in CPR/First Aid/AED and licensed accordingly. Security Officers also receive annual training regarding federal laws such as the Clery Act, Violence Against Women Act (VOWA), Title IX, and other rules germane to protecting students and staff. OSHA safety principles are covered in daily briefings and unsafe conditions are constantly looked for through frequent inspections.
Our Campus Security Team has jurisdiction over the campus and enforce local, state, and federal laws, as well as university rules & regulations. The team provides services such as the SafeSwords Program, in which a security professional can safely escort you to any location on-campus.

Campus Security and Access to Campus Facilities
Access to university facilities and classrooms follows a schedule submitted by the Records Office. Campus Security staff opens and closes facilities according to a schedule, which is updated on a daily basis, or on request for special campus needs. Identification is checked and recorded by Campus Security for any special request for access. Access by Campus Security or Maintenance to residence hall rooms is arranged with the student or with a Residence Hall Director.
Facilities Management maintains the university buildings and grounds with a concern for security and safety. Campus facilities and grounds are inspected on a regular basis to ensure that repairs are made in an expeditious manner. There is an annual review of the lighting on campus.
Residence Life staff provides and supervises personnel for the monitoring of residence halls each semester. Also, on a monthly basis, the Resident Assistant walks through all suites and apartments to check for health and safety issues. See CUH Guide to Residence Life.
The off-campus residence halls have a Residence Life staff member living on the premises. They cooperate with the local police in responding to criminal activity and report the incidents to the Security Team, Director of Housing & Residence Life and the Vice President for Student Affairs/Dean of Students.
