Safety & Security
Mission Statement
The Mitchell Community College Safety and Security Department is committed to providing an environment to allow students, staff, faculty and the community to interact on campus in a safe and secure learning environment.
Safety on Campus
- Personal safety and protection of property is the responsibility of each individual.
- Stay alert and be familiar with the campus and buildings.
- Security should be notified of any threats made against you, another person or Mitchell Community College.
- Notify Security if you see or hear anything suspicious.
- Avoid leaving books, book-bags, purses or personal items unattended.
- Lock your office door when going out, even when you'll only be gone for a short time.
- Be aware of your surrounds. Check the floor plans in buildings so you can exit safely in case of fire or other emergencies. Make note of any handicapped students or faculty and make team plans to help them in an emergency.
- Note where building fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located.
- Lock your vehicle and secure your valuables out-of-sight in the trunk.
- Have your car keys in hand when walking to your vehicle and scan the area and the inside of your vehicle before entering it.
- Display an MCC Parking Permit in your back window so that Security can locate you on campus if an incident or accident involving your vehicle occurs.
- Call MCC Security at (704) 880-0172 or the Main Switchboard at (704) 878-3200 if you need an escort to your vehicle after dark.
- Drive slowly and safely in our parking lots. The number of pedestrians and the nature of campus parking and our many visitors make careful driving a necessity.
- Minor motor vehicle accidents in campus parking lots are generally not investigated by local law enforcement. Accidents resulting in personal injury or extensive damage will generally be investigated. Security should be notified to assist you in all incidents.
