POLICY ON CRIME PREVENTION The College makes every reasonable effort, through the cooperation of all departments, to create an environment that is both safe and secure. Although we cannot guarantee safety, we believe that through cooperative efforts and appropriate education, we can strive toward that end. Mount Aloysius offers programs throughout the year designed to inform students about personal and Campus Police & Safety procedures. Students are initially informed of these procedures during Orientation sessions. Throughout the year, programming and workshops sponsored by various Student Affairs departments include information regarding safety issues, alcohol and drug abuse prevention and sexual misconduct awareness and prevention on-campus for all students. Specific programs and activities include SAFE personal safety training for women, bystander intervention, alcohol and drug prevention speakers, relationship and responsibility week, live fire extinguisher training and non-alcoholic activities such as LollaNObooza. In cases of criminal activity or other incidents considered a threat to others, local police will be contacted immediately and warnings will be distributed via email and posted on bulletin boards. These steps will be taken as quickly as possible so the campus community can take any precautions necessary. 25
