Message from the Director of Public Safety
It is the responsibility of the Department of Public Safety to protect life and property and to advance the educational mission of the College. To address the safety and security needs of Middlebury College, the Department of Public Safety offers a wide variety of services to students, faculty, staff and visitors. This handbook contains information on security programs, procedures and safety practices and contains statistics of certain crimes committed on campus that have been reported to campus officials. The handbook has been compiled in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and will be sent by e-mail to students, faculty and staff. Printed copies will be provided to prospective students and prospective employees and will be available upon request at the Department of Public Safety.
Everyone at the Department of Public Safety is committed to keeping the College safe and secure. In order to accomplish this, we need assistance from every member of the community. Crime reduction and prevention will be effective when everyone is working together. We ask that you carefully review this handbook and incorporate these practices into your daily lives. As the College community participates in crime prevention and strong safety practices, the Department of Public Safety will fulfill its mission.
If you have any questions or suggestions about this handbook or safety and security at Middlebury College, please contact me at 443-5201 or by e-mail at eboudah@middlebury.edu.
