CAMPUS SECURITY
Quinebaug Valley Community College herein complies with the State of Connecticut's Campus Safety Act, Public Act 90-259, which mandates the annual publication of a Uniform Campus Crime Report, and establishes a process for raising awareness of safety on college campuses. Broader awareness of campus safety issues and procedures at Quinebaug Valley Community College is the first step toward improving the security of students and staff. The Uniform Campus Crime Report – 2004 Statistics is provided in the appendix.
Student Safety Responsibilities
In order to assist the college in its efforts to maintain a safe environment, the college relies on the awareness and involvement of the Faculty, Staff and Student Body. Staff and Students alike must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and the security of personal property. This can be done by applying some simple, common sense rules such as:
- Lock vehicles when leaving it unattended.
- Do not leave valuable items in vehicles in plain view. Lock them in the trunk.
- When walking to a vehicle, walk with others.
- Have keys ready when returning to vehicle.
- Do not leave belongings unattended.
- Do not give personal information to strangers.
- If a crime is committed, report it to the college at once.
Security Regulations
Security is provided evenings, when college is in session, on a contract basis. Currently, hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, and additional hours as needed. The State Police, located less than one mile from the campus, also patrol the grounds and respond to emergency calls.
On the Danielson campus, students, faculty, and staff should notify the Dean of Administration or the Dean of Learning and Student Development about situations that might jeopardize safety on campus. At the Willimantic Center, contact the director. All motor vehicle laws and the Connecticut General Statutes will be enforced.
