Help is only a click away with MCC Guardian
With the safety and security of the college community as our primary focus,
The Department of Public Safety would like to recommend the college community
download to their smartphones the MCC Guardian Mobile Safety App. This free
mobile App. powered by RAVE turns student and employee smartphones into
personal safety devices.
MCC Guardian works on any Android or Apple iPhone device and with any
carrier. Visit the Apple i-Store or Google Play Store on your mobile device and
download the free App. Search for "Rave Guardian." Register using your MCC
email address (an email address that ends in "monroecc.edu") in order to access
the MCC specific version of the App.
The App. has a safety feature that directly connects you to the MCC Public
Safety Dispatcher (or 911 Center if off campus) in an emergency situation, as
well as provide you with the ability to submit an anonymous tip to MCC Public
Safety should you see something suspicious.
The App. should only be utilized in areas within MCC Public Safety's
jurisdiction, including MCC's Brighton Campus, Downtown Campus, Alice Holloway
Young Commons (Residence Halls) and the Applied Technologies Center. Because
MCC's Public Safety Training Facility is a unique Monroe County and City of
Rochester based resource for Public Safety, it is not within MCC Guardian
jurisdiction. Calls placed outside MCC's jurisdiction will be redirected to the
closest law enforcement agency or emergency authorities at 911.
By downloading the App. on your mobile phone, you can also invite friends
and family members to join your network as your "Guardians." You can then
request one or more of your Guardians to virtually travel with you on or off
campus. It's like having an emergency blue light system and a trusted friend
with you at all times.
I encourage all MCC Faculty, Staff, and Students to enhance their personal
safety and security, as well as the safety and security of their friends by
downloading the free MCC Guardian App.
If you have any questions regarding MCC Guardian or if you would like to
schedule an individual, group, or Department training session for MCC Guardian,
please contact emergency Manager Chuck DiSalvo at cdisalvo@monroecc.edu or call
x2926.
