There are no incidents to report since August 23, 2019.

The college’s department of public safety provides a few tips to stay safe on campus:

If You See Something, Say Something

  • Report any suspicious activity to public safety, including :
  • Unusual items or situations
  • Individuals appearing to pay unusually close attention to buildings or objects beyond a casual or professional interest
  • Unusual items or situations such as odd packages, open windows, or unusually parked vehicles
  • People asking for potentially compromising questions such as how security procedures work or when shifts change

Fire Safety

  • Know where the emergency exits are
  • In the event of an alarm, always evacuate
  • Use stairways, not elevators
  • Call 3411 using any college phone to alert the public safety department
  • Similarly, press the red button on any red emergency phone to speak with public safety
  • When trapped, seal all crevices with cloth to keep out smoke, call 911 and give your location

In the Event of an Active Shooter

  • Run and keep your hands visible
  • Hide and silence phones
  • Fight as a last resort
  • Avoid quick movements towards responding officers
  • Avoid pointing, screaming and yelling
  • Do not stop or interrupt officers
