Colorado Mesa University has released its Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, which provides statistics from the past three years. The report is accessible online, and paper copies can be obtained at several locations on campus, including the Police Sub-Station, Office of Human Resources, Student Services office, CMU Tech, and the Montrose campus.
The report details a range of safety topics relevant to students and staff. It outlines campus safety policies and highlights the university’s efforts to maintain a secure environment through cooperation with local law enforcement and ongoing security measures. Procedures for reporting crimes, emergencies, sexual misconduct, and hazing incidents are explained in the report, including confidential reporting options.
According to the document, “Campus Safety Policies: Overview of CMU’s commitment to a safe and respectful environment, including collaboration with local law enforcement and campus security measures.” It also addresses how timely warnings and emergency alerts are communicated via email, text messages, and website updates: “Timely Warnings and Emergency Alerts: Procedures for notifying the community of threats via email, text and website updates.”
Other sections cover security protocols for accessing campus facilities. The university states there is controlled access to buildings as well as safety features in residence halls. There are 24/7 patrols throughout the campus: “Security and Access to Campus Facilities: Controlled access to buildings, residence hall safety measures and 24/7 campus patrols.”
Fire safety procedures for residence halls are described in detail. These include alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and evacuation guidelines: “Fire Safety: Policies for residence halls, including alarm systems, sprinkler systems and evacuation procedures.”
The report further describes crime prevention programs such as safety awareness campaigns, property registration services, Safe Walk programs for students moving around campus at night, and video surveillance initiatives.
In addition to outlining student conduct expectations—such as handling cases of misconduct or violations related to alcohol or drugs—the report also specifies sanctions that may result from these violations: “Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policies: Guidelines for handling misconduct, alcohol and drug violations, and sanctions.”
Resources related to sexual assault prevention are included. The report covers educational programming as well as support services available for victims. Hazing policies are clarified with definitions of prohibited conduct along with reporting procedures.
A summary of recent crime statistics from on-campus incidents over the last three years is also provided in the report.
