Montgomery County Community College

Public Safety

Montgomery County Community College is concerned about the safety and welfare of its students, faculty, staff, and visitors, and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment to all. The Department of Public Safety is responsible for campus security and for safety initiatives. Officers are trained in First Aid, CPR, and use of an AED. Public Safety Officers are responsible for identifying and investigating violations of the College's Code of Conduct, for identifying safety and security hazards on campus, and for assisting local police departments by reporting criminal activity.

Violations of the College's Code of Conduct are referred to the Vice President of Student Affairs. Violations of the rules of the College may result in fines or other sanctions. Violations of the laws and ordinances of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Whitpain Township, or Pottstown Borough require the intervention of Whitpain or Pottstown authorities.

The Department maintains an excellent relationship with Police and Emergency Response organizations in Whitpain Township and Pottstown Borough.

In Case of an Emergency

An emergency is any immediate threat to life and/or property that requires immediate response from police, fire, or ambulance personnel. Your judgment often determines whether an incident is an emergency. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.

• All faculty, staff, students and visitors are authorized to call 911 in the event of an emergency.
• The Department of Public Safety should also be contacted. This allows for the most efficient emergency response due to the multiple building locations and the size of our campuses.

Students, faculty, staff, and visitors should report all crimes and medical or fire emergencies to the Public Safety Department.
