SECURITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
During the 1999 academic year, approximately 2,200
students were enrolled at the Damon City Campus. The center employs 200
people.
The college does not currently request information
from employee or student applicants concerning involvement in criminal
offenses except applicants for Public Safety Department positions.
The Damon City Campus is truly a closed campus.
Students, faculty and staff at the Damon City Campus must present identification
cards to gain access at all times. The general public must sign in at the
Security Desk to enter the campus. Everyone's cooperation is essential
in making the campus safe. Personal safety outside the building is very
important to the college. Use common sense and be street smart. When returning
to your vehicle, try to find someone to walk with. If you can't and are
concerned, contact Wilmorite Security.
GENESEE MANAGEMENT
PROTECTIVE SERVICES
Wilmorite Security provides
security to twenty-four sites, including multi-level shopping malls, office
buildings, apartment complexes and other commercial locations, located
in six cities and four states. All of theses are privately owned and operated
by the Wilmorite Corporation. The Protective Services Department is run
by the Corporate security director along with two regional managers. Each
of the individual sites is supervised by a Lieutenant who, in many instances,
is a retired police officer embarking on a second career, bringing a wealth
of knowledge, experience and maturity to the position. In addition, our
sites are staffed with sergeants and protective services officers who are
carefully selected and undergo an intensive field training program, along
with an ongoing video training program.
The security staff in the Sibley building consists
of a regional manager, 2 sergeants, 21 full-time officers and two part-time
officers.
Potential criminal actions and other emergencies
at the Damon City Campus can be reported directly to Genesee Management
Protective Services by dialing extension 1414 or by use of one of the emergency/

Protective Services can be reached at (585) 232-3354. Upon receipt of a
call, officers are dispatched immediately to the site of the complaint.

to correct lighting problems, broken locks and doors and other potential
safety and security hazards. Television cameras enhance security and safety

STUDENTS' AND EMPLOYEE'
RESPONSIBILITIES
The cooperation and involvement of students and
employees in a campus safety program is absolutely necessary. Students
and employees must assume responsibility for their own personal safety
and the security of their personal belongings by taking simple, common
sense precautions. Valuable items such as cameras, tape recorders, and
calculators should be marked with engraving instruments. Cars should be
locked and valuable items should be secured in the trunk and not left in
full view. Students and employees should report any suspicious looking
activity or incidents to Wilmorite Security as soon
as possible.
