Safety and Security
Cedar Crest College’s excellent Safety &
Security record is attributable to the College’s location in a low
crime area, its efforts to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff
and through the cooperation of the entire campus community. An annual
security report is available to all students, faculty and staff online at
http://www2.cedarcrest.edu/security/SecurityBooklet01-06 low.pdf.
The annual security report is a comprehensive look at campus
safety detailing three years of statistics, listing all reported
crimes on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property
owned/controlled by Cedar Crest College, as well as on public property
immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus. The report
also provides information on institutional policies concerning campus
security. All information contained within the annual security report
has been prepared in accordance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of
Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act.
The campus safety and security staff consists of a
Chief, Assistant Chief and seventeen full- and part-time officers along
with one Administrative Assistant. All but two officers are
commissioned and the majority is trained in basic first aid, use of an AED,
emergency oxygen and CPR. Safety & Security Officers monitor the
campus twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, patrolling on foot,
bicycle and in three marked patrol vehicles. Recently, the Board of
Trustees approved the carrying of firearms by members of Cedar Crest Safety
& Security. Safety & Security is currently testing, training and
developing policies and protocols as a prerequisite to arming. The Office
of Safety & Security is located in the Physical Plant Building and is
open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to serve the needs of the
campus community.
