Emergency and Personal Safety
The mission of the Macomb College Police Department is the safety and security of, and service to, the people and property of Macomb Community College. In keeping with that mission, your safety is very important. However, we alone cannot provide total isolation from crime or unsafe conditions.
Each person on campus must share this responsibility. We urge you to be aware of your environment and to continually strive to maintain the highest possible level of safety within our community.
College Police is the only department on campus open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you need information, directions, to report an incident or are experiencing an emergency, we are here to serve you.
Emergency Procedure ManualEmergency phone boxes have been installed in central locations across our campuses. They can be used to report any type of incident to College Police or to request assistance.
To see where these are located, please refer to the maps of our South, Center, East and M-TEC campuses.
The college offers an emergency messaging alert system as part of its comprehensive emergency preparedness plan to quickly notify students, faculty and staff of campus emergencies or campus closures.
Current students and employees are automatically enrolled in emergency alerts with their Macomb email address and the cell phone number on record with the college. While individuals can choose to unsubscribe from the text alerts, emergency notifications will still be sent to their college email address.
Please contact us with any questions specifically related to the Emergency Messaging system.
The Emergency Procedure Manual provides students and employees with a better understanding of measures that can be taken to encourage a safer campus environment. The manual includes basic guidelines to follow when faced with various emergencies.
