Event Security
海角社区 Police Department provides security for event services per University Policy. The services contract may be printed and submitted to 海角社区 PD: 海角社区 Police Services Contract.
You may contact the Special Events Coordinator by email at lsupdevents@lsu.edu or by telephone at 225-578-3231. Please ask for the Special Events Coordinator.
海角社区 Police Department has the sole responsibility for providing police and security functions on the campus of 海角社区. This means that groups or organizations may not contract with any off-campus agency for policing, parking, or security of events held on campus. Police and security needs must be discussed with 海角社区PD and if it is determined that a need exists, 海角社区PD will provide the resources or make arrangements with university approved entities. This often incurs a cost to the organization.
海角社区 Finance and Administrative Operating Procedure (FASOP) 鈥�海角社区PD-01鈥�, provides guidance to campuses served by 海角社区 PD, for use of private security companies at campus events: 海角社区PD-01.
Police Services contracts are only accepted via email and should be emailed to lsupdevents@lsu.edu.
Many factors determine the need for event security. The 海角社区PD will work with event coordinators to determine the security needs for the event, however the 海角社区PD shall reserve the right to determine staffing and security measures needed for any event on the 海角社区 Campus or it's satellite locations.
Some of the factors included in determining security needs are:
- Type of event
- Day/time of the event
- Location of the event
- Number of other events occurring at the same time that also require security
- Expected crowd size
- History of similar events
- History of sponsoring organization
- Ticket sales occurring at point of entry
- History of performer/speaker at other locations
- Alcohol at the event

- The rate for each officer assigned to the Special Event is $70.00/hour.
- There is a four hour minimum for each officer requested
- All sums will be due within 14 days following receipt of an invoice for services rendered.
