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.
