Building Security Measures
All college buildings that are open to the public are equipped with an intrusion alarm system. This alarm system is comprised of infrared motion sensors, microwave motion sensors, and magnetic door switches. Every aspect complements the other aspects of the system. These alarms are utilized whenever the buildings are locked and closed to the public.
While the college is open, the officer(s) conducts patrols throughout the buildings and grounds. The officer(s) on duty carry a cellular phone and a two-way radio. With this radio, the officer can both receive any pages or telephone calls in order to make a quicker response or report any condition that may require assistance.
Access to Buildings and Labs
Since we are a community college and do not have any on-campus housing, the college buildings are not open to the public 24 hours a day. The college has set hours that the buildings are open. These are as follows:
The college is also closed for the following holidays:
Lab Passes
If a student would want access to a specific lab, office or other restricted area, that student must possess a lab pass signed by an instructor or other authority figure before gaining access to the area. The Security and Safety Department also receives a student directory and a copy of class lists to verify the individuals.
Animals/Pets on Campus
Animals and pets are prohibited from the college grounds, especially inside the buildings.
The only exception are "guide" or "working" dogs.
Campus Lighting
The outdoor lighting on campus is made up of mercury lights and sodium vapor lights. These sodium vapor lights are excellent exterior lights because they reduce the effect of fog and other bad weather conditions. The exterior lights are computer regulated and are scheduled to come on at dusk, and the majority of the exterior parking lot lights go off at 2245 hours (10:45 p.m.). This time was chosen because everyone should be off the campus at this time. The area lights (these are lights that surround the buildings on campus) stay on all night long. This enables the officer on duty to visually inspect the building perimeters while on patrol.
