Campus Safety and Security Policies

Procedures to Report Criminal Acts or Emergencies

Always Call X1400 First to Report Emergencies

Contacting Campus Safety and Security at extension 1400 for all emergencies will provide a speedier response for emergency service than calling other emergency services. When you call 1400, your call will be answered by a dispatcher who will take your information and contact other emergency services and the on-duty Campus Safety and Security Officer directly by radio.

The officer has the ability to provide specific direction and assist with building access for off-campus emergency responders such as responders from Rural-Metro Ambulance service, the Richmond Police department and the Richmond Fire Department. This assistance speeds response for the external responders. Additionally, calling 1400 allows for specific and immediate tracking of the phone call location, which cannot be done when calling outside of the college for assistance.

Callers should always stay on the phone line with the Campus Safety and Security dispatcher until he/she terminates the call — do not hang up. Each time an officer responds to an emergency or incident on campus, the event is documented and forwarded to the appropriate support area, such as residence life, counseling or student development.

A Campus Safety and Security Officer is available 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year.
