Who We Are
Simon Fraser University is a leading research university, advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Our purpose – the essence of SFU – is to create and connect knowledge, learning and community for deeper understanding and meaningful impact. We are committed to fostering excellence, innovation, belonging and community in all that we do.
The Campus Public Safety (CPS) Supervisor, Liaison oversees the day-to-day delivery of SFU’s frontline community safety, asset protection, and emergency response services, supporting a safe, secure, and resilient campus environment. Working closely with the senior CPS Supervisors and CPS leadership team, the Liaison roles ensure consistency in service excellence and stakeholder trust within each of the SFU Vancouver and SFU Surrey campuses, leading on campus responses to complex or high-risk incidents, including medical emergencies, persons in distress, suspicious activity, and all-hazards events, while ensuring a professional, person-centred approach aligned with University policy, legislation, and best practices.
About the Role
Acting as a senior first responder, Incident Commander, and investigator, the CPS Supervisor serves as an essential initial point of contact, determining immediate resourcing needs, initiating transitional care referrals, and identifying immediate risk mitigation measures. The role liaises with myriad internal and external partners and provides mentorship to contract security personnel and student safety staff, while contributing to community safety initiatives across their assigned SFU campus.
We are looking for a conscientious, engaged professional experienced working in regulatory environments and with individuals across the life span, including those with complex needs. The ideal candidate is a principled and pragmatic leader who naturally engages respectfully, empathetically and professionally with all members of a diverse community. Our ideal candidate has proven experience with coordinated operations, timely escalation, consistent good decision-making, and integrated incident response that builds trust, provides safety guidance, supports investigations, and promotes a respectful, inclusive, and person-centered approach to campus safety.
