Message From the Chief
January 1, 2010
Welcome back to campus after what I hope was a safe and relaxing Holiday Break! During the break, your campus police department was hard at work thinking about how best to keep you all safe. In order to assist us in your safety and security, please remember a few valuable safety tips:
- Always lock your room door!!!!! This includes the adjoining bathroom doors. It takes only a moment for a thief to enter your room undetected to steal cash, an iPod, or a laptop.
- Secure all small valuables, even when in your room. This can be as simple as placing these items in a desk drawer. Most thefts are crime of opportunity.
- Secure all valuables in your vehicle. Never leave iPods, cash, or other high priced items in your vehicle. Simply bring them into your room and place them in a secure place.
- Never let anyone into a residence hall that does not belong. If you see someone you don’t recognize, feel free to call us at x5212 (216-373-5212). We would be more than happy to check.
- IMMEDIATELY report anything suspicious to us at x5212 (216-373-5212)!
As we begin to see the white stuff fly, it is important to remember a number of valuable winter weather safety tips. The most important is to allow extra time when travelling anywhere. Slippery roads, accidents, snow, and ice will always cause a delay. We want you to arrive at your destination safety, even if it takes a few extra minutes.
Before travelling, take a few minutes to perform a few simple vehicle safety checks:
- Ensure your tires have adequate tread
- Keep your windshield washer fluid topped off – the salt will blind you
- Make sure you have more than enough fuel to reach your destination – nothing is worse than running out of fuel on a cold, snowy day in the middle of the highway
- Keep a blanket in your vehicle – should you be stranded waiting for a tow truck, hypothermia can set in quickly
- Ensure to always lock your doors to your car, even when you’re in it
- Inform friends and family of your travel arrangements, especially if you’re travelling long distances
If you have any other questions on safety on or off campus, feel free to stop by the police station. We are always happy to help you stay safe.

Campus Safety Awareness and Precautions
Common sense is the most valuable tool for most safety situations. To promote a safer, more secure campus, the campus community should remember:
- Carry your Notre Dame College ID while on campus.
- Be alert to any unusual or suspicious individuals or circumstances on campus and report it to the Campus Police/Security Department at x5212.
- Remember that Campus Police/Security patrol the grounds, parking lots, residence halls and all academic buildings.
Despite recent growth, Notre Dame is still a small community. If you notice a situation or individual that seems unusual or out of place, please report it to the Campus Police/Security.

Campus Alert System
Notre Dame College has entered into a public/private partnership to implement the CityWatch Community Notification System. This Campus Alert System gives us the ability to notify the college community in the instance of an emergency or health hazard.
This system allows NDC to send a mass message about the emergency or health hazards with instructions on what to do next. This message can be sent via e-mail, voice telephone, or text message.
All students, faculty, staff, and parents are encouraged to register their landline telephone, cellular telephone, and e-mail addresses into the Campus Alert System database.
Please go to the following web site address to register for the Campus Alert System: www.NotreDameCollege.edu/alert/
