Please help Plant Services maintain key records
As the university’s locksmith, it is imperative that I keep accurate records of which keys have been issued and to whom they’ve been issued. I have had difficulty maintaining my key records because of people passing on their keys to other people either when they leave George Fox or when they move to another department. In many cases, people have passed on their keys to someone else apart from my knowledge or simply left them somewhere in their former workplace.
All keys are issued from Plant Services, and when people no longer need them they are to be returned to Plant Services. They are not to be passed on. There have been cases in which master keys have gotten lost and never accounted for. This constitutes a major breach of security. If keys were to get into the wrong hands, there is no telling what the consequences of this could be.
If you have moved from one department to another during your tenure at George Fox and still have keys from your old department, please return them to Plant Services. I am asking for your cooperation in this so that we can maintain campuses that are safe for our students and employees.
Thank you,
Alan Thurston (Plant Services)
