Just a reminder that you may contact the USF Police Department (non emergency # listed below) if USF Security is needed. The USF Police Dispatchers will be able to contact Security Officer Greto and dispatch him to the area of concern. Our dispatchers will also be able to determine the appropriate response level (Security vs. Law Enforcement). It is important to also note, in emergency situations, students, faculty, and staff need to call 911. If anyone is unsure if 911 is the most appropriate avenue, don't hesitate and call. Our trained dispatchers will be able to determine the appropriate emergency level, direct their calls appropriately and provide assistance. Officer Greto provides security services (traffic control, open/lock door requests, visible security presence) for the entire USF Health community (which includes the MHC building). His current shift is from 2pm - 11pm, Monday thru Friday. He has an office in the CBCS Dean's Office area.
