YourLocalSecurity.com Names MCC Safest Campus in New York

YourLocalSecurity.com, an ADT authorized premier provider, ranks Monroe Community College eighth on its 2018 list of the nation's 25 safest colleges/universities. MCC is also ranked as the safest college campus in New York state, according to the study.

The article, written by Kylie McQuarrie and published on April 24, notes how "safety is fast becoming a determining factor" for students and families to consider when choosing a college. Data sources include the U.S. Department of Education's Campus Safety and Security survey of campus crime statistics (reported by colleges between 2014 and 2016) and the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting program for cities that host college campuses. Colleges were considered only if they served more than 1,000 students and only a college's main campus was studied; property crime, violent crime and violence against women were analyzed leading to a per capita crime rate. Colleges without sufficient data were not included in the ranking.

In the article, MCC is recognized for its campus locations in Brighton and Rochester and the quality of public safety resources, including its "Silent Witness" program that offers anonymous crime reporting
