Mission Statement

It must be emphasized that the effectiveness of any Security Department is largely dependent upon the assistance of each and every member of the college community. Individuals must be made aware of the fact that they, as part of this institution, are also responsible for maintaining of law and order. They must also feel a personal involvement in the responsibility to report any minor or serious crime activity.
A vigorous surveillance is maintained by Security to prevent criminal activity on the campus on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, Seven (7) days per week. For immediate security service: Pick up one of the emergency phones located around the campus (these phones are direct connect to security) or use a regular campus phone and call (312) 850-7166, 7167, and 7168 and also for calling Chicago Police or Fire Emergency from a campus phone dial - 9911.
It is the duty of the security office to maintain a safe environment for people who are a part of the Malcolm X College experience. This process will move forward with dedication to excellence. Security must start at the point of excellence and move forward from that point.
The Director of Security approaches the selection and training of officers as a high priority. Each officer is selected to achieve positive success through education, training and a commitment to service. Each officer is a trained certified peace officer who has successfully completed training at a law enforcement academy that is state certified.
