RCC endeavors to maintain campuses on which everyone is secure and safe. Each campus has trained security staff, “best practices” procedures and planning, convenient emergency call boxes, ample lighting, and surveillance cameras. Additionally, the College maintains a violence prevention committee and threat assessment team of trained administrators, staff, external professional service providers, and law enforcement agencies.

However, it is each individual’s responsibility to maintain his/her own situational awareness and to be familiar with College emergency procedures. Emergency procedures, instructions, and other emergency, security, and safety information can be found on http://www.rappahannock.edu/safety.

The College has established a formal and effective process for identifying and addressing violent threats. If you feel yourself or anyone else is threatened by violence it is your obligation to report it to faculty, staff, campus security, a counselor, or directly to the Threat Assessment Team. If there is a clear and present danger of violence or an act of violence is occurring, do not hesitate to call law enforcement at 911. Likewise campus security staff can be alerted using a blue light emergency call box or a red emergency telephone in each classroom.  If a law enforcement response is not immediately necessary, the Threat Assessment Team can be alerted on http://www.rappahannock.edu/safety/report-a-threat-crime-or-safety-issue/ or calling the office of the dean of student development at (804) 758-6730 on the Glenns Campus or (804) 333-6730 on the Warsaw Campus.
