Campus Security Your Safety is Our Concern
At Moraine Valley, we are concerned about every aspect of your well-being. To
help provide a safe and secure environment for your educational experience, we
have staff and technology in place to provide round-the-clock protection.
- Blue light panic buttons located in
parking lots that dial directly into our dispatch center
- Emergency phones in campus buildings
- Over 120 video cameras throughout campus
with plans to have 15 more by fall semester, including one with night-vision
capabilities
- Emergency phone system that allows us to
simultaneously contact every student for whom we have a telephone number
- Public address system that can be heard
throughout all campus facilities
- Web site and student e-mail systems to
provide important information to students during a crisis
- Use of text messaging to inform students
of an emergency is forthcoming
Photo identification cards for students
In addition, we have our own fully staffed 911
dispatch center that is operational 24/7, 365 days a year. We have certified
police officers who are trained in emergency response. Community service
officers are stationed in each building during all hours the college is open. We
maintain inter-agency agreements with neighboring police departments that will
assist our officers in a crisis. The North Palos Fire Protection District will
respond to any fire or hazardous material emergencies.
“The safety of our students is a top priority
for us,” says Dr. Vernon O. Crawley, college president. “We will continually
look for ways that we can ensure our campus is secure so students can feel
comfortable and focus on learning.”
