Campus Security

CAMPUS SECURITY ACT OF 1990

In accordance with the Campus Security Act of 1990 and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act of 1998 (referred to as the “Clery Act”), MCC publishes a Campus Security Report in October of each year. This report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by MCC and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. This report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning sexual assault, and other matters. It is available online at https://www.martincc.edu/about/campus-safety/ or a hard copy is available at the front desk in Building 1 on the campus.

Campus Security and Crime Awareness

Martin Community College (MCC or College) shall comply with the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Title II of Public Law 101-542, amended 1998), also known as the Clery Act.

 The following statements of MCC Policy and associated practices shall be provided to the campus community and the public.

Reporting Crimes

It is the policy of Martin Community College to require all persons to report all known and suspected criminal activities and other emergencies that occur on campus to the Vice President of Operations/Business and Industry Services. The MCC switchboard operator shall be available during normal business hours so that reports of an urgent nature may be reported. The Vice President of Operations/Business and Industry Services, having been notified of an incident, shall notify appro-priate personnel, including law enforcement personnel, and investigate and document the incident.

Martin Community College encourages anyone who is the victim of or witness to criminal incidents that occur at MCC sponsored off-campus activities to report them to the appropriate law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. If a victim or witness does not wish to pursue action under the MCC system or the criminal justice system, he/she may file a report on the details of the incident with the Vice President of Operations/Business and Industry Services without revealing his/ her identity. The purpose of a confidential report is to comply with one’s wish to keep the matter confidential, while taking steps to ensure the future safety of the campus community. Reports filed in this manner shall be included in the Annual Crime Report.

All criminal activities that occur on any MCC campus or at MCC-sponsored activities, including off-campus activities, shall be reported by the College President, or his/her designee, to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Security of and Access to Campus Facilities

Access to MCC facilities (e.g., buildings) shall be provided to the public Monday-Thursday, 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and Friday, 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., except for scheduled holidays or announced periods of closure. Access at other times shall be controlled by the assignment of keys and alarm system access codes.

Access to private offices shall be controlled by the assignment of keys to individuals. Access to classrooms or sensitive areas (e.g., Maintenance facilities, network server rooms, etc.) shall be controlled by assignment of keys to responsible faculty and/or staff members.

Lockdown

If there is a campus intruder who is armed, the campus will go on lockdown. Students who are on campus should seek cover in a classroom and follow the instructor’s directions while the campus is on lockdown. If students are outside, they should seek concealment behind cars, dumpsters, or other large objects, using extreme caution to prevent being a visible target. Cell phones should be put on vibrate immediately. Students who are off campus will be notified by email to remain off campus until the emergency is resolved.

Campus Law Enforcement

The College receives support from local and State agencies having jurisdiction. These security personnel have complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts, either on or off campus.
