Department of Security Services

Quality is a trademark of the University of Pretoria. This is not only reflected in its pursuit of academic excellence, but also in the way the University deals with its students, the services provided to its students and the quality of the total campus experience.

The University is fully committed to maintaining a stable and safe environment to allow students to study with peace of mind, take part in a variety of cultural, sport and student activities and thus thoroughly enjoy student life.

Given the extent of crime in South Africa, the Department of Security Services approaches this issue in collaboration with other roleplayers, such as the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. By doing so, the University contributes to the promotion of a safe environment, even outside the University’s boundaries.

The Department of Security Services performs according to a well-structured operational plan and with crucial strategies, that are truly outcomes based, in place. It combines decades of sound experience, common sense and a true liking and respect for others, all in a day’s work.
