The Public
Safety Department of Mott Community College works to prevent crimes
from occurring rather than react to them after the fact. MCC has
a comprehensive Crime Prevention program which is based upon the
dual concepts of eliminating or minimizing criminal opportunities,
whenever possible, and encouraging the college community to be responsible
for their own security and the security of others.

- 3P - Campaign. Prevent, Protect & Prosecute Violence Against Women
Mott Community College is committed
to assuring that students are able to complete their studies
in a safe environment – whether on-campus or off-campus.
In 2004, the college in collaboration with the University
of Michigan-Flint received a grant from the Department
of Justice to initiate the “3P Campaign”– Prevent,
Protect and Prosecute Violence Against Women. One of
the goals of this initiative is to develop and implement
a campus awareness program, and to provide education
resources and assistance to students. For more information
on how you can become involved in this exciting program,
contact Sgt. Nancy Metcalfe, 3P Coordinator, Prahl
College Center, Lower Level, (810) 232-8216, or Nancy.Metcalfe@mcc.edu.

- Security Patrols
Public Safety personnel are assigned
to continuously patrol all areas of campus 24 hours per
day, all year long.
- Emergency Response Team (ERT)
