Public Safety Responder

Public Safety Responders are frequently the first contact the public may have when seeking assistance or requesting services at any UCI location. They provide information, directions, and general assistance, patrol and respond to calls for service at the various UCI properties, respond to emergencies like disturbances or medical crises, monitor suspicious activity, provide escorts, and assist with the de-escalation of violent situations. In the Health setting, they are a direct patient-facing position often found in the emergency department and various clinical settings. They provide patient, visitor and staff escorts and essentially act as a security and safety presence within the healthcare facilities. Public Safety Responders assist in placing persons in restraints, write reports, and monitor patients as needed. They also staff and monitor security systems, including cameras, monitors and alarms.
