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.

Security Desk

Security desks are located in the Campus lobby at 71st Street, 72nd Street, the Faculty Center, and in the lobbies of the 55th Street and Found Study Residence Halls. Security officers are assigned to the residence halls security desks 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Building Access

All students, faculty and staff are required to show their MMC ID to security whenever entering the building or upon request by College officials. We encourage students to create their Mobile OneCard by creating an account on OneWeb and then downloading the “TouchNet OneCard” app on their smartphone, as this has a direct calling feature to Campus Safety. All guests must provide valid photo identification, sign in at the security desk, and be announced.

Response to Incidents

Security personnel immediately respond to and investigate reported emergencies, injuries, crimes or other incidents, and file reports for incidents occurring on College property. Incidents involving student misconduct are referred to the Office of Student Life. Anyone aware of any of the aforementioned should contact Campus Safety immediately. Additionally, always contact 911 in the event of a serious emergency.
