Public Safety & Emergency Info
Overview
The primary role of Public Safety is to provide
assistance and campus protection to students, employees and visitors.
Other responsibilities include:
- Protecting district and personal property
- Providing assistance with disabled vehicles
- Managing lost and found property
- Identifying safety hazards
- Giving presentations about safety and crime prevention
Public Safety has established relationships with neighboring businesses and works closely with
the Phoenix Police Department
to ensure campus safety. Community members are encouraged to report all suspected crimes and
unusual or suspicious activities and emergencies.
Security & Access to College Facilities
Public Safety issues identification cards to enrolled students and encourages students to
carry these cards at all times while on campus. The identification card
indicates that the bearer is a member of the student population.
Reporting Crimes & Other Emergencies
Students, employees and others are encouraged to report any criminal
activity or emergencies that occur on campus to Public Safety. In emergency
situations, dial 9-1-1 first.
Responding to Criminal Activity & Emergencies
- Public Safety or a Phoenix police officer will respond to each report of
criminal activity.
- The Phoenix fire department will respond to reports of fire or medical
emergencies.
- GateWay Public Safety responds administratively if any reported
sexual assault or other criminal offense involves a student or employee as the alleged offender.
- Victims may submit a written, signed statement detailing an incident
to the Dean of Student Services.
Evacuation
In the event of an evacuation, it is critical that all people exit the
buildings in a safe and orderly manner. The signal to evacuate is normally
given by fire alarm. During a natural/propane gas emergency, the signal will
be given verbally. View the following links for more details:
