Security at the College is the responsibility of the Office of Business and Finance. The Manager of Security and Safety directly oversees all staff and is responsible for insuring that all policies and procedures are followed. Since the College is situated in an urban environment, a primary consideration in any new construction or renovation planning is the use of higher intensity lighting levels combined with low-lying shrubbery and a minimum of trees to afford safe walkways.

The Security Department advises the Facilities Management Department via a work order system when lighting levels are inadequate. Safety hazards are noted for action and eliminated or corrected via Security Condition Reports submitted to the appropriate managers.
