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 is forthcoming to inform students about an emergency

• 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.”
