23 SAFETY AND SECURITY IS EVERYONE S RESPONSIBILITY

24 Recommendations Board Policy regarding Use of Facilities (BP 2.05) should have the Sponsoring Unit/Department updated to Facilities. Opportunities are available (trainings, CAT, Campus Watch, etc.) and there needs to be more involvement from staff and faculty. College needs to evaluate the hours of operation, a seven day operation is not economically sustainable and strains Facilities and College Police resources. Normal hours of operation are Mon. Fri. / 8am 5pm (SPG 2503/AA) Need to revisit access protocols throughout the district and approval authority for off hour usage.

25 Recommendations Faculty to cover emergency information with their students at the beginning of each semester and at student orientation. Administrators and supervisors to cover emergency information and resources with their departments and staff. College needs to evaluate policies regarding lost keys and who can be granted higher security level of keys. All emergency notification systems should fall under the authority of Facilities and College Police (i.e. VoIP, PA systems, PCC Alert, Fire & Life Safety alarms, and Panic buttons).
