E. Campus Safety & Security MBKU continuously strives to provide the safest possible environment for classroom, work, study, and after-hours activities for everyone on campus and at MBKU clinics. Personal safety continues to be of paramount importance and will remain one of the highest priorities. Campus Safety is available on the Fullerton campus 24 hours, 7 days a week and is responsible for ensuring overall safety and security on all University properties. As activities on campus continue to increase, each student, faculty, and staff member have been issued ID Access Cards and must carry them for positive identification at any time. Campus Safety Officers have the authority to challenge anyone found on campus at any time. If proper identification cannot be provided, the individual may be escorted off campus immediately. If students are confronted with what you feel is an unauthorized or suspicious individual on campus or in the immediate area, dial 714.992.7892 from an outside line or 7892 from a campus phone line (Campus Safety office). Stay on the line and your call will be forwarded to a cell phone if no officers are in the office. Also located throughout the campus are hold-up buttons which are monitored by Campus Safety. Located in the parking structure are “blue light” emergency call systems. In the event of an emergency, press the button to contact Campus Safety. These emergency call systems should be used for emergencies only (not parking issues, for example). Individuals riding skateboards, bicycles and anyone loitering or wandering around the campus are considered suspicious. This includes the campus store, student center vending area, lounge, and restrooms. All members of the campus community are urged to help monitor and maintain the safety of campus. The Campus Safety office is located on the ground level of Building B next to the parking structure. The city of Fullerton has a major university, multiple colleges, and various other schools within its boundaries. This makes the Fullerton Police fully aware of the constant activities on each campus and the potential crime that could occur. MBKU maintains an excellent working relationship with the Police Department and has always found them swift to respond to any reported problem. Exterior campus illumination has been carefully designed to provide students with the safest possible environment during after-hours time on campus, including transit to and from the parking lot(s). If you feel uncomfortable while in transit to or from your vehicle, please contact the Campus Safety office to request an escort. The University has established an Emergency Alert System to be able to communication with students and employees should there be an emergency. On an annual basis, and as changes occur, students and employees are asked to supply their contact information so that in the event of an emergency, we can reach everyone on and off campus via an ‘instant mass communication’ that is distributed via email, cell phone, home phone and as an option at a work number or by text messaging. Contact information may be supplied on the portal. Students and employees may need to be advised not to come to the campus and give instructions on when to return or employees may need to come to the campus to assist in helping get the campus operational. This communication system can also be used to send instant messages to specific groups of students or employees about information that pertains to them. Safety as a Social Responsibility At MBKU, we continually strive for a culture of reporting. It is not the responsibility of a few select people to keep the community safe – it is the responsibility of everyone to maintain overall safety. For more information regarding social responsibility and bystander training, please visit the Student Achievement Center Moodle site for a training video and additional resources on these topics. If students see something suspicious on campus or have a non-emergency concern about a situation or fellow student, please report the concern via the “Report A Concern” form on the portal. This form may be submitted anonymously. This form is for reporting general concerns regarding the safety and wellbeing of the MBKU community only. Anonymous reports regarding alleged University policy violations will not be accepted through this form. University policy violations and/or grievances may be submitted to the VPSA (see “Student Conduct”). Back to Title Page
