Mission<\/h2>\n

Public Safety\u2019s mission is to provide for the safety of students, employees, and visitors through hazard mitigation, planning, response, and emergency notification to allow students and employees to learn and work safely and successfully, and to support Berea\u2019s Great Commitments through our work and customer service.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Berea College Public Safety at ext. 3333 is the\u00a0central point of contact\u00a0for all matters related to the\u00a0safety\u00a0and\u00a0health\u00a0of the college community and all issues related to personal security and protection of property.<\/p>\n

Berea College has developed policies and procedures, offers educational programs, cooperates with local law enforcement agencies, and supports a Department of Public Safety to enhance the safety and security of its students, employees, and guests.\u00a0 The college recognizes shared responsibility for the welfare of the community.\u00a0 This publication, in addition to outlining the institution\u2019s efforts in this regard, reminds students and employees of their personal responsibility to take prudent precautions and to inform others, especially Public Safety, about known safety hazards or security concerns.\u00a0 More detailed information on the following sections can be found in the\u00a0Catalog and\u00a0Student Handbook\u00a0<\/a><\/em>or by calling the departments of Public Safety or Student Life.<\/p>\n

Department of Public Safety<\/h2>\n

The Department of Public Safety provides 24-hour service to the campus employing 14 full-time staff which includes a Director, three Public Safety Officer Shift Leaders, six Public Safety Officers, Telecommunications Team Leader, five full-time Telecommunicators, a Security Systems Coordinator, and approximately fifteen Student Associates who work 10 hours or more each week.\u00a0 None are sworn law enforcement officials.\u00a0 The department works closely with the Berea Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies when appropriate and necessary.\u00a0 Current signed agreements with local and state law enforcement agencies are limited to radio communication and motor vehicle license information.<\/p>\n

Officers\u2019 expertise includes law enforcement, criminal and accident investigation, security patrol and crime prevention, fire safety, hazardous materials, defensive driving, parking and traffic control, basic first aid, and CPR\/AED.<\/p>\n

Telecommunicators expertise include APCO certification for Telecommunication, CTO training, FEMA, APCO Instructor, basic first aid, and CPR\/AED.<\/p>\n

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (Clery Act)<\/h2>\n

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act<\/em>\u00a0signed into law in November 1990, requires that all institutions of higher education report annually to students and employees on specific campus crime statistics and security policies and procedures.\u00a0 This report meets the requirements of that law and demonstrates compliance with the Federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Acts Amendments of 1989 to the Higher Education Act of 1965.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
