B. Security and access to campus facilities: McMurry University Campus Security provides
campus security. The major responsibility of Campus Security is to keep the residence
halls and campus crime free and safe for our students. Security is always watching for any
problems with campus facilities and will call required maintenance if needed. Access to
campus facilities after hours is limited to those with proper identification or authorization.
University housing staff controls entrance into the halls after hours and watches for any
safety threats to residents. University housing will alert Security of any significant problems.
C. Statement of policies concerning campus security:
1. Campus Security act as agents of the University in enforcing the policies of the
University. They do not have the authority to arrest individuals. Campus Security
maintains a good working relationship with the Abilene Police Department and calls
them for assistance as needed.
2. All security members, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to report safety and
policy violations promptly to appropriate agencies. The Student Affairs Office is
responsible for coordinating all security matters and will monitor the program.
D. Programs to inform students and employees about campus security procedures:
Both the faculty-staff handbooks as well as the Council Fire and Residence Hall publica-
tions inform students and employees about the importance of security and everyone's
responsibility in watching after their own security and the security of others. A constant
effort is made to keep everyone informed.
E. Program descriptions:
I. During fall orientation, all new freshmen are briefed on security, safety and the preven-
tion of crimes.
2. During each opening residence hall meeting, this information is reinforced.
3. During the school year, programs are presented to students and employees on how to
protect themselves from crime on campus.
