About The Position

The Student Auxiliary Safety Patrol (SASP) assist Public Safety with keeping the Ithaca College campus and its community members safe and secure. SASP patrol the campus in pairs - never alone - between the hours of 10:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. weekdays, and 10:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m. on weekends while classes are in session. In addition, SASP assist with crowd and traffic control for numerous special events that take place on campus during various hours of the day or night. The schedule is very flexible, and you choose the hours you are able to work each week. SASP members are trained to be alert to the safety needs of the College community as they patrol the residence halls, parking lots, and other areas of campus. They assist the Office of Public Safety with locking academic buildings and making sure residential buildings are secure, operate the campus escort program by offering a walking escort to students, and assist with parking enforcement and crowd control during special events. This includes athletic events, concerts, Convocation and Commencement. SASP members maintain two-way radio contact with Public Safety and can request officer assistance whenever needed. Although our focus is on education rather than enforcement, if necessary, SASP may issue conduct referrals to violators of the Student Conduct Code and/or parking tickets to violators of the IC Parking Rules and Regulations. They are also trained to identify and assist with medical emergencies and will be certified in CPR/First Aid. SASP are community-oriented student peers who work hard to serve the community in which they live and learn.
