Questions concerning this report may be addressed to me at the Public Safety Department at Benedict College. Suggestions for improvements are welcomed. Mission Statement Public Safety is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for Benedict College students, faculty, staff, and other citizens who visit our campus and to provide professional, courteous service addressing law enforcement and security needs of the Benedict College community. The purpose of this brochure is to demonstrate compliance with the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990. This federal legislation requires Benedict College to publish this annual Your Right to Know safety and crime awareness report for its students, faculty, and staff.
Students are understandably concerned about their safety on a college campus away from home.
We at Benedict College understand this concern, and accept our responsibility to employ safety and security measures to help ensure that our students enjoy their years at Benedict, and that their stay be as free as possible from threats to their well-being. S.C. As part of the larger community, the college shares many of the same interests and problems, including the concern about crime. Crime is a national problem that affects areas, including college campuses. Although Benedict College has experienced a significantly lower incident rate than the surrounding community, we must honestly state incidents can and do occur. There are no sanctuaries.
