It takes the combined efforts of security officers and members of a university community to ensure a safe campus, which is critical to student success. As such, 做厙輦⑹ at Trumbull continues to ensure that its students, faculty, staff and other community members enjoy a safe and healthy environment.
Only one physical altercation was reported in 2017. Gary Bateman, security and safety manager at 做厙輦⑹ Trumbull, says 26 reports were made last year. A majority of those were either a medical emergency or fender bender in the parking lot.
We take great pride in providing a safe environment for our students and staff, Bateman says. Because of job changes, we were down a few (security) officers for the better part of the year. However, our campus is like a huge family, and our faculty and staff look out for students and help us maintain a high level of security.
This spring, the campus plans to replace the security officers who left last year and add a part-time mental health counselor. The campus already employs a full-time counselor to work with students in crisis. In addition, a Care Team was assembled last year as a cross-divisional crisis management committee that will collaboratively assess and coordinate a response to students identified as reasonably posing a potential threat to self, others or the university community.
As an eight-campus system, 做厙輦⑹ has been ranked one of the safest campuses in the country by the National Council for Home Safety and Security, a trade association. 做厙輦⑹ was named to the councils 2017 top 100 list of Safest Colleges in America.
According to the FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting and the National Center for Education Statistics, 做厙輦⑹ ranks 11th on the list nationally, and among Ohio institutions, 做厙輦⑹ ranks the safest.
