The IIUM Auxiliary Police

The Office of Security Management (OSEM), originally known as the Security Management Unit (SMU), was established in 1993 at the Petaling Jaya Campus, where the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) first began its operations.

In 1995, the SMU was transitioned from the OHSE Unit under the Management Services Division (MSD) and was subsequently governed by a Directorate, at which point its name was changed to the Office of Security Management (OSEM).

Initially comprising 15 security personnel and led by an Assistant Security Officer, OSEM has expanded significantly over the years. It now commands a strength of 189 personnel, providing security coverage across all IIUM campuses, including Gombak, Kuantan, Endau Rompin, and Gambang.

In 2014, OSEM began sending its security guards for professional training. Specifically, 22 members were dispatched to attend the Basic Police Assistance (KAPB) Course 1/2014, conducted at the Police Training Centre (PULAPOL) Langkawi, Kedah.

Following the successful completion of the KAPB Course 1/2014 by all 22 members, they were awarded Certificates of Appointment as IIUM Auxiliary Police. The Office of Security Management (OSEM) officially established the IIUM Auxiliary Police on 3 September 2014. 

Furthermore, on 24 October 2014, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Khalid bin Abu Bakar, the then Inspector-General of Police, officially awarded the Certificate of Approval for the establishment of the IIUM Auxiliary Police.
