4. Security Notes
University of Hartford Public Safety shall be the first responders & overall security/safety agency for any event at the University & shall contact external safety & security agencies in the event of an emergency due to the unique nature of the University's placement within the cities/towns of:
Hartford, CT
West Hartford, CT
Bloomfield, CT
Due to the fact that only those officers employed by the University of Hartford & area police have jurisdiction over events occurring on University property, event sponsors may not outsource security officers. All arrangements will be coordinated through the Department of Public Safety

Larger special events may necessitate developing a safety plan for special events that includes:
Access points into / out of the hosting venue & associated spaces
Parking
Evacuation in case of emergency
Safety staffing (Public Safety, Hartford Police, C.S.C. Security & E.M.T.s)
Emergency notification
Larger and more complex special events may necessitate the need to develop a safety and security “command center” where such related staff can coordinate their operations and always have a member of their team found at. The command center is also a great place for general special event information needs
