As a key player in building the King’s community, patrol also encourages students to uphold our residence policies and guidelines. Finally, you yourself are to be an example of proper conduct for all students of the University and are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner. Patrol staff are members of the King’s residence staff, reporting to the Patrol Supervisors and to the Assistant Dean of Students.
