Safety and Security Guidelines
The Greenfield Corporate Center enjoys a relatively low crime rate. However, it is the responsibility of every member of the EMU community to take reasonable precautions for maintaining personal safety as well as the safety of others.
Security Emergencies: notify the police, call 911
Security Concerns may be addressed to:
Director of Operations (or Staff / Faculty on duty)
The following information is designed to give you “how to” information on staying safe and responding to emergencies should they occur.
Protect Your Car
Lock your car and take the keys. Many car burglaries and car thefts occur because the owner did not take time to secure the car. Don’t make your car a target of opportunity by leaving it open to all who care to enter.
Do not park in isolated, dark places if these areas can be avoided. Park where there are people about and where the car will be lighted.
Do not leave items of value unattended in your car. Expensive cameras, stereo equipment, and even textbooks and clothing left on the seat of an unattended car are invitations to theft. If you must leave items in your car, store them in a locked trunk.
Protect Yourself in Public Areas
Do not leave your belongings unattended in public areas such as hallways and classrooms in academic buildings; and public restrooms. If you want to keep it —keep it with you!
Fireworks
The use or possession of fireworks is prohibited on the university property. Because of safety concerns, violators may be fined and/or assigned other disciplinary outcomes
Weapons
The use or possession of firearms, explosives, knives, bows, flammable material or weapons of any kind (including BB, pellet, or paintball guns) is prohibited on the university property or at any university-related function. Should any of these items be needed on campus for educational purposes requests and permission must be arranged and authorized in writing by the directors.
Emergency Guidelines
The following guidelines apply to emergency conditions on site. It is not possible to establish procedures for every conceivable type of emergency, but these guidelines can be used for any similar emergency or hazardous situation. Please review them frequently so you will be prepared in an emergency.
