The Department of Campus Safety works to ensure a safe environment for our students, employees and visitors of MMC. The department’s responsibilities are within the framework of College policies as well as local, state, and federal laws. Our security team consists of a Director, an Associate Director and a Supervisor, and both in-house and contracted NYS licensed security guards. Campus Safety maintains an excellent working relationship with the New York City Police Department. The Director and Supervisors are former members of the law enforcement and are well versed in security matters and police procedure.
