Indiana University has remarkable community members and beautiful campus environments, both of which receive the greatest degree of safety possible consistent with the university mission, applicable legal and professional standards, generally accepted privacy norms, and available resources.

The IU Physical Security and Access team is responsible for analyzing complex physical security, safety, and privacy situations and challenges to develop, maintain and promote sound processes that improve the safety and privacy of the university community and the security of university assets. 

PSA identifies physical security vulnerabilities and develops plans to eliminate or mitigate them. These plans often include the strategic design of access control and video surveillance systems used within the scope of two university guidelines:  PS-02 Video and Electronic Surveillance Policy and the Facilities Physical Security, Safety, and Privacy Base Bid Standards.
