Mr. Ritchie,
In response to your question,  how Campus Security gets in touch with
Maintenance and Environmental Services?  Here at Creighton University we are
now using communication with NEXTEL phones.  This makes communication much
easier.  Instead of the call going to a secretary who dispatches the
information, we can now talk to the person who will be cleaning the
problem,  Before I took this new position as Fire Safety Specialist I was a
Public Safety officer for three years at Creighton.
