Lakeland security officers are now providing lock-out service on our campuses. Officers have recently completed training and received the equipment necessary to unlock vehicles for people who accidentally lock their keys inside.

Those in need of the service should call the main operator to alert security and let them know what parking lot they are in. The service is free of charge.

Previously, the St. Joseph Department of Public Safety provided the lock-out service. The new capability of Lakeland officers will not only help those in need of the service but will also allow police officers to remain focused on other duties.
