Security Monitors identify and report possible criminal activity to the University of Minnesota Police Department (UMPD). This is a zero physical intervention position—UMPD does not ask or want Security Monitors to physically intervene or to make arrests/detain suspects when observing possible criminal activity. 

Security Monitors are a proactive presence, discouraging criminals before they act and help reduce risks to people and property. Monitors enforce campus and building-specific rules and policies, including reporting maintenance problems such as malfunctioning lights or inoperable phones.
