Traveling by Foot

  • Walk on well-lit routes during dark hours
  • Have your keys in hand and be ready to open a locked door 
  • Request an escort to your vehicle
  • When possible, provide your return time and route to someone you know and trust
  • Avoid walking alone at night
  • Refrain from taking shortcuts; walk where there is plenty of light and traffic

Protect Your Automobile

  • Never leave your keys in the vehicle
  • Avoid leaving property in your vehicle where it is visible
  • Close your windows and lock your doors every time you leave your car
  • When getting into a parked vehicle, check your back seat and floors for uninvited passengers
  • Park in plain sight as visibility is the key to safety – leave your vehicle in a well lit populated area

Protect Your Property

  • Secure your keys at all times
  • Personal property - (purses, laptops, backpacks, calculators, etc) should never be left unattended
  • Secure valuables in a locked cabinet or drawer.
  • Always lock your bike. There are several good anti-theft devices available. Case hardened heavy locks and chains afford the best protection
  • Make sure that your office is locked when you leave. Do not rely on anyone else to do it for you
  • Report any loss or theft of keys, equipment, or valuables immediately to Public Safety

Sound environmental practices in accordance with regulatory agency requirements are emphasized on both campuses and administered by the Anoka-Ramsey Community College Public Safety Office.

In the ever-changing landscape of public health and healthcare access, we understand the unique challenges our campus populations may face. To meet these needs our college has a Public Health Coordinator who can provide infectious disease prevention & control strategies, resources for affordable & accessible community health services, FREE on-campus Narcan access, and medical response trainings. All of the college's Public Safety team are also EMR certified and are ready to respond to medical emergencies on campus.
