Crime Prevention

Although the College fosters a strong feeling of community, students should remember that MMC is located in the heart of New York City. If you ever have questions about safety or security issues, please contact the Director of Campus Safety or an MMC Security Supervisor for assistance. The following tips can help protect you on or off campus:

When traveling to and from campus, always try to travel with a friend or group – especially at night.
Don’t go out alone. Always go and leave with a friend or group.
Never leave your property unattended, especially laptops, handbags, backpacks, etc.
Don’t leave handbags on the back of your chair when out in public places.
Notify security officers immediately of any unusual circumstances on campus.
Always secure your keys, wallet, personal electronic devices and other personal items.
Stay alert and avoid isolated or poorly lit areas.
Be alert and careful when using ATM machines.
Be alert when riding the subway – don’t stand near the edge of the platform, display cash, jewelry, cell phones, or portable electronic devices.
Do not wear or display expensive jewelry or money in public places.
Always be aware of your surroundings – know where you can go for help.
