Campus Security / Annual Security Report
This section, describing the College's safety programs, is intended to raise your level of awareness and to increase your understanding of preventive measures. Safety at the College depends on each individual making it a priority. The director of college services oversees the selection and coordination of a contract security service to cover the College's facilities and adjacent lots. The security service is required by state law to screen and train its guards for enforcement and protection work. Security cameras and lights help the service. A close working relationship with the area police and airport security help the College's own efforts, as the security service can not make arrests. It can, however, provide a security presence and assist law enforcement officials when they are called by members of the College community. There are many steps you can take to enhance campus safety.
