Security at Carroll

If you have any concerns regarding security or need assistance, please call the 24-hour dispatch desk at extension 5100. They will be able to summon the appropriate personnel to help you. Community Advisors are also a good resource if you have any concerns about security.

About the Safety of Our Campus

Carroll College strives to provide a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. While instances of criminal activity on campus are rare, the college is not immune to crime and cannot assure or guarantee a crime-free living or working environment. Therefore, the college promotes a proactive approach to safety. The members of this campus community are expected to actively participate in making the college a safe and healthy living/learning environment and to act in a safety-conscious manner and are required to avoid actions that would jeopardize their own security as well as the security of others or the campus.

The college benefits from a community whose members truly care about one another. By watching and remaining alert to our surroundings, we can work to maintain a safe environment and identify dangerous and unsafe practices or facilities. Please contact the office of Student Life if you have questions or suggestions regarding campus safety.

Security Personnel

Security at Carroll College is contracted with Securitas. As contracted employees, they are considered agents of the college. Roaming guards patrol the residence halls, academic halls, and parking lots, and enforce college policies and rules, including the Student Code of Conduct and parking and traffic regulations.

Emergencies

If you encounter an emergency on campus, please dial extension 5100 to request assistance from the dispatch desk.

Crime Statistics

The Student Right-To-Know Act, which was renamed The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act in 1998, mandates that institutions of higher education publish an annual report which is made available to both current and prospective students and employees of the occurrences of specific crimes on the campus. In addition, the institution must report the number of arrests for liquor law violations, drug use/abuse violations and weapon violations.

Sometimes its a Matter of the Law

It's true! When a law is broken on campus, the Helena Police Department is contacted. Security and the dispatch desk will call the city police to request an officer to come to campus to address violations of law. This includes underage drinking, theft, false fire alarms, and much more.

Dispatch Desk

Located in the front lobby of Our Lady of Guadalupe Hall, the dispatch desk is staffed 24/7 and can be reached at 5100.
