    Hosts for events that meet any of the following criteria are required to notify Campus Safety Services of the planned event a minimum of three weeks (15 business days) prior to the scheduled event using the LMU Event Security & Safety Form*:

    3. Speaker(s), host(s), and/or invited guest(s) who are elected or government officials (current or former); who are accompanied by a security detail (armed or unarmed); and/or who require extra security due to a specific threat, safety concern, or contract terms.

    With the information provided, CSS will coordinate with Conference and Event Services and the event host to create effective and strategic event security plans.

    * Due to the high volume of events, Campus Safety Services can no longer respond to email or phone requests for event security.

    CSS will provide the following safety and security services and support for events on LMU Westchester & Playa Vista campuses:

    • Coordination with private security details
    • Coordination (planning, event support, and emergency response) with LAFD

    Costs

    • Event Security Detail: $33 - $45/event security personnel/hour
      • Note: Security detail requires a 4-hour minimum. Cancellations within 24 hours will incur a four-hour charge per security personnel at the contracted rate. Security personnel requested with less than 3 weeks' notice may require an hourly surcharge.
    • Guest Screening with Magnetometers or Wands: Costs vary depending on several factors (e.g. availability of power, number of screeners required, etc.) CSS will provide this information to the event host.
    • Event Support: If additional event support is required (e.g. EOC activation), CSS will provide the estimated costs to the event host.

  • Public Safety will work with departments, colleges, and schools to hire and coordinate a temporary security detail if there is a security threat or safety concern validated by Public Safety. For example: the door to a suite or residence hall is undergoing an infrastructure upgrade rendering the door lock temporarily inoperable; this may require an officer to be posted at the front door to facilitate access control.

    If you believe you need a security detail, complete the form and Public Safety will follow up with you within two business days. Note that a minimum of one week (5 business days) is required to process a non-event security detail request.
