Surveillance at the BMC is carried out by the security company SECURITAS. Patrol is mainly done during non-working hours. Outside patrols are carried out by car and on foot. Inside patrols are also carried out with dogs. Patrols are carried out throughout the premises.

Contact the security company directly on the telephone number below if you need help, e.g. after a lockout or with other questions regarding security. In case of lockout, please note that the guard will only help the person in need if he/she can present a valid ID and access card. The guard will also escort the person into the departement and check whether he/she has access. If the guard determines that the individual is unauthorised, the person in question will be immediately escorted out of the BMC.

SECURITAS can be reached via the universitys' emergency number +46 18-471 25 00, which is manned around the clock. Via the emergency number you can reach the campus guards and the Duty Officer on standby.
