Public Safety at Albertus Magnus College
Department of Public Safety
The mission of the Albertus Magnus College Department of Public Safety is to provide
a safe and secure environment by protecting the well-being of all community members.
For this purpose, the Department of Public Safety is service oriented to meet the
specialized needs of the campus community. Duties include, but are not limited to:
detecting potential crimes of opportunity; maintaining a pro-active approach to deterring
crime by emphasizing highly visible patrols; identification and elimination of all
hazardous conditions; public interaction and community awareness of security related
issues; and the enforcement of traffic and parking rules and regulations. The Department
of Public Safety is supportive of the College's mission statement in that it...
"remains dedicated to providing an opportunity for learning which responds to the
academic needs and ethical challenges of its students and society."
About Our Department of Public Safety Staff
Public Safety staff are non-sworn and do not have full arrest authority. They do have
full authority from the College Board of Trustees to patrol and enforce campus policies
and procedures. Public Safety staff have the rights and privileges afforded to any
private property owner under Connecticut laws.
It is important, however, that all members of the Albertus community students, faculty
and staff contribute to making Albertus Magnus College campus comfortable and secure.
LiveSafe
Albertus Magnus College monitors LiveSafe, a free security app available to all campus
community members. LiveSafe allows our community the ability to connect with Public
Safety through the app – report suspicious activity with photos/videos, request a
virtual escort, find directions on campus, and report emergencies.
We encourage all College community members to download and set up the
LiveSafe app available in your app store.
The College has a strong partnership with the City of New Haven Police Department
(NHPD). Often, the College has a NHPD Officer on campus to work alongside of Public
Safety. The Police Officer is here to serve as both a crime deterrent and as a community
partner.
The Albertus Magnus College Emergency Alert System
The Albertus Magnus College Emergency Alert System is a mass notification system.
It enables Albertus students, faculty, and staff to receive alerts and updates through
a combination of e-mail, text messaging and phone calls in an emergency situation.
This will help to keep our campus community informed of what is happening and any
action that they might need to take.
Students, Faculty and Staff are automatically enrolled in the Emergency Alert System.
We encourage everyone to maintain their current cellular phone number with the College.
The Emergency Alert System MAY be used for:
Major disaster
Safety alerts in those situations where there is an immediate potential for personal
injury
Health concerns
Class cancellation due to weather/snow days
Albertus Magnus College will test the Emergency Alert System each semester. If you
do not receive notification during a test, please contact Public Safety.
Falcon Card
Students are required to carry their Falcon Card at all times. Your Falcon Card will
allow you access to your residence hall, allow you to eat in the dining facility and
verify your student status when attending campus events. Students are required to
produce their Falcon Card to any College official who requests it, including Public
Safety, Residence Life, and Student Activities.
Fire Safety
All buildings on campus contain fire alarm systems which are monitored by an alarm
company. The fire alarm systems are inspected annually and maintained throughout the
year by the College. When an alarm is activated, the local Fire Department and Public
Safety are notified. In the event an alarm activates in your building, you may notify
Public Safety to ensure they are responding.
All Residence Halls and some academic buildings are equipped with a sprinkler system.
The sprinkler system is designed to activate in the event of a fire or high heat.
No action is needed by anyone to activate the sprinkler system.
Partnership with City of New Haven Police Department
The College has a strong partnership with the City of New Haven Police Department
(NHPD). Often, the College has a NHPD Officer on campus to work alongside of Public
Safety. The Police Officer is here to serve as both a crime deterrent and as a community
partner.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure Annual Security and Fire Safety Report
is completed each year by Albertus Magnus College in compliance with federal and
state regulations (Clery Act and Higher Education Act). These required policies and
criminal statistics are collected and compiled by the Department of Public Safety
and Division of Student Affairs into the annual Security Report and published by Albertus
Magnus College. Albertus Magnus College is required by law to make policy, criminal
statistics and information available to the College community and prospective students
and employees. The Annual Security Report is available on the Albertus Magnus College
website. Printed copies of this
report
are available upon request from the Department of Public Safety.
