Crime Prevention - As part of the College's educational mission, the Department of Public Safety attempts to teach campus community members how to reduce their chance of being a victim of crime. The College Crime Prevention Program is based upon dual concepts of eliminating or minimizing criminal opportunities (e.g., sexual assault, theft, physical violence, etc.) wherever possible and encouraging students and employees to be responsible for their safety and that of others. The following is a list of the College's Crime Prevention Programs and projects:
- Residence Hall Security—Crime prevention presentations accompanied by brochures, other printed material, and videos are regularly made available to resident students.
- Call Boxes - Emergency phones are located in each building elevator.
- Crime Prevention Presentations—Programs are conducted for such groups as residents and commuting students, student government members, and other recognized organizations.
- Facilities Survey—Public safety personnel and facilities conduct Comprehensive surveys of exterior lighting, exterior doors, and grounds.
- Operation Identification—Engraving identifying marks on valuable items is encouraged and free of charge.
- Rape Awareness, Education and Prevention - Education and prevention presentations are offered to members of the college community through the academic year.
