Remember, no college campus is a haven from crime, so be security conscious. Carroll Community College encourages the accurate and prompt reporting of all crimes, emergencies, and suspicious persons or conditions to our Administration Office or the Office of Public Safety and Security.

The College's Public Safety and Security officers patrol our campus and investigate and report all crimes and incidents for proper action. Officers also enforce parking regulations and issue parking violation tickets. These uniformed officers work closely with jurisdiction police officers who quickly respond for back-up and/or arrest when notified by College personnel or when requested by a victim of a crime. In the event of student unrest not requiring police assistance, Campus Public Safety and Security officers escort student(s) to the Office of Academic Affairs for student disciplinary action as appropriate. Security officers will also provide escort service to one's vehicle upon request.

Public records

A record of criminal investigative reports is maintained in the Office of Public Safety and Security in an Investigative Reports Campus Security Binder for the public to review.

Off-Campus events

It is the policy of Carroll Community College to have a faculty adviser present at all on-campus and off-campus student organization events.

If you are the victim of a crime

If a student should become the victim of a crime, sexual assault or sexual offense, the student should report the incident to the Administrator on duty or Campus Public Safety and Security officer as soon as possible. If the victim may feel more comfortable, the incident may be reported in a confidential manner to a counselor located in the Student Affairs Office, Room A102.

Please drive carefully

The speed limit on campus is 15 mph. Traffic and parking regulations are enforced. Students do not need parking permits, but must park in non-reserved spaces only.

Campus awareness

Awareness of crime, crime prevention, sexual offenses and prevention of sexual assault are topics of continued importance. The College presents multi-media informational programs at various times throughout the year to enhance student awareness and knowledge of these topics. Safety and security information is also posted in every college classroom.

Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act

It is the policy of the College to comply with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 by adopting and implementing a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by the students and employees of Carroll Community College.

Code BlueEmergency Call Boxes

The College has installed several Code Blue emergency call boxes on campus parking lots. Large signs and blue lights mark the locations of the emergency boxes. These emergency boxes place a call to the college's emergency phone line, x8123, and security personnel are immediately dispatched. As an additional safeguard, each call box is equipped with a strobe light that will flash when a message is transmitted. This will enable the responding college personnel to better locate the box from which the call has been placed. If assistance is required in the event of an emergency, go to the nearest call box and follow the instructions printed on the box. A Campus Public Safety and Security officer or a campus administrator will provide assistance. After normal operating hours, calls from the Code Blue boxes are forwarded to the County's 911 Center.
