Preparing for a New Academic Year
It is with great excitement that the Department of Public Safety anticipates the
new academic year. It’s an anticipated rejuvenation that takes place every year
and this year is no exception. So what do we do to ready ourselves for the rebirth?
Your Department of Public Safety works with experts within our own department
and from around the county to enhance our skills. We train and retrain on CPR
and first aid. We practice vehicle unlocks to ensure equipment familiarity and
train on different vehicles, including hybrids! Our officers reorient themselves
with the usage of a fire extinguisher and elevator rescues.
Federal and state laws are ever changing. We study new laws and educate ourselves on evolving laws. We review booking processes for misdemeanor, felony
and juvenile arrests. Drug recognition, domestic violence and active shooter
training are also reviewed.

We invest 10 minutes at every roll call to quick reviews of procedures. These 10 minutes refresh our mindset and provide a
platform for question and answer periods.
We’re analyzing past academic year experiences and collaborating with stakeholders to identify improvements to traffic patterns and signage.
We’re revamping our booklets and website pages to be sure we’re communicating the most up to date information.
We work hard to excel at great customer service. Our mission is to protect and
serve the Mott Community College community, preventing crime through collaboration and cooperation. Our goal is a safe campus environment.

Court Street Village Apartment Fire Drill
The Court Street Village Apartments have 256 apartments available to seniors
age 55 and over. The residency is geared toward those with
an income level at or below $24,000. As a part of our one
mile radius and community policing philosophy, we assist the
seniors with their yearly fire drill. We follow the drill with senior safety information such as signs of a heart attack or stroke,
how to speak out against elder abuse and how to use a fire
extinguisher. We ended the afternoon with a picnic style lunch
of grilled hot dogs, chips, spaghetti salad and lemonade! Our
officers served and visited with the residents and answered
questions one-on-one. It was a beautiful to enjoy the fellowship of our neighbors!
The way to become
truly useful is to
seek the best that
other brains have to
offer.
