Welcome to the webpage of the Southern College of Optometry Security Department. Our mission is to provide a safe environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus through a risk-based, layered security approach that includes physical security measures, student and staff education, and other safety services. SCO’s Security Department aims to provide security, good customer service, and a commitment to serving the campus population.

The college maintains a 24-hour security operation staffed by trained security officers. The SCO Security Department can be reached at (901) 722-3306/3307 or cell: (901) 212-0772.

Throughout the campus, SCO utilizes card-accessed doors and prominent surveillance cameras located strategically across the campus as well as various parking lots. The cameras are programmed to record 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
