Public Safety
Although the vast majority of our students, faculty, staff and visitors do not
experience crime at Carl Sandburg College, crime may sometimes occurs despite
our best efforts. The best protection against campus crime is an aware, informed
and alert campus community that reports crime and suspicious behavior in a
timely manner while using reason and caution during their daily activities.
AS PART OF THE OVERALL EFFORT TO PREVENT CRIME, THE COLLEGE
UTILIZES THE FOLLOWING RESOURCES:
• A 24/7 campus security personnel presence. The College also has a strong
working relationship with the Galesburg Police Department. Officers can be
dispatched from city locations to campus within minutes.
• More than two dozen emergency call boxes, which serve as a direct, outdoor
link to campus security from almost everywhere on campus (see map for
locations).
• State-of-the-art security camera monitoring
system consisting of cameras placed in various
locations throughout all campuses that are
monitored 24 hours a day.

• 24-hour, 365-days-a-year campus services
