The College contracts with a licensed security agency for surveillance of buildings, equipment and grounds to provide protection against breeches of the peace or other disruptive activities as well as damage, vandalism and loss from theft. Exit lights, fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems and panic hardware are all inspected monthly and kept in good repair. Evacuation plans are posted in all rooms and evacuation drills are conducted regularly.
Outside lighting is inspected frequently.
These logs are reviewed by the Director of Business and Facilities Services each morning and any problems noted are scheduled for correction. The College reserves the right to exclude persons exhibiting disruptive or inappropriate behavior from the campus.

Fire and other emergencies can be reported directly to local emergency personnel by dialing 9-911 from campus telephones.
