Safety
Location: University Police
Red Hawk Road
Telephone: 973-655-5222
The safety program at Montclair State University is a community effort
for the general benefit of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. We
are partners in creating an environment that is safe and promotes learning,
social interaction, and leisure activities. A university community, like
a residential community, reflects the society at large. As in other places,
crime does occur on university campuses. Montclair State University has
taken many steps to create a secure campus.
University Police
- An independent, full service police department, the department is
staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the entire year.
Community safety is the primary responsibility of the University Police
Department, administered by a Chief of Police who reports to the Vice
President for Student Development and Campus Life. In addition to the
Chief, the department is staffed by commissioned police officers and dispatch
officers. Information and emergency telephone numbers are posted and published
throughout campus. Officers at headquarters are in direct radio communication
with officers on patrol. Patrols of the campus are made by police personnel
in highly visible police vehicles. In addition, University police officers
conduct regular foot patrols. Along with heightened foot patrols and mobile
units, bicycle patrols increase awareness as well as the visibility of
police officers.
Self-Defense Training - Offered by University police officers,
this training is free and open to all members of the campus community.
Training is offered periodically throughout the fall and spring semesters.
Crime Prevention - Through a variety of educational programs, crime
prevention officers conduct panel discussions for classes, Residence Life,
student organizations, and academic departments and administrative offices.
Operation ID - This program assists members of the campus community
in properly marking their property by collecting serial and model numbers
of valuables, and offers suggestions for safeguarding jewelry.
Security Survey Program - A crime prevention officer will survey
any area on campus that members of the campus community believe may be
unsafe.
Crime Updates - Crime prevention personnel provide the student
newspaper, The Montclarion, with weekly police blotter information. Crime
bulletins are also disseminated throughout campus via fliers, newsletters,
and electronic mail.
Escort Service - The MSU Police Escort Service was established
by the department to provide a safe means of transportation to community
members who must move about the campus after normal working hours. It
is not a taxi service and should not be used for every change of location
you make during the course of the evening. However, if you are concerned
about safety and cannot walk with a friend or travel in a well-lit area,
then please use the escort service.
Access to Facilities - Access to campus facilities is generally
restricted to students and employees with a University ID Card and proper
authorization. During weekends and holidays, persons who require access
to any building must first check in at the University Police Headquarters.
Emergency Call Boxes - There are 124 emergency call boxes located
throughout the campus. Exterior call boxes are easily identified by large
red and white emergency phone signs and a blue light overhead.

Asian Pacific Islander Caucus: Initiated by a concerned group of distinctive
scholars and highly acclaimed professional staff, the Asian Pacific Islander
Caucus (APIC) was founded at Montclair State University on January 29,
1991 to foster cooperation between faculty, staff and students belonging
to the Asian Pacific Islander community and enhance communication between
Asian Pacific Islanders and all other ethnic communities on campus. Reflecting
increased growth of campus population and its changing demographics, the
Caucus, since its inception, has grown considerably over the past decade
and includes well over 100 dedicated members at present.
While providing the members with an opportunity to preserve their ethnic and cultural identity, APIC works with an unified agenda of pooling of valuable member resources, finding peer and leadership support, creating conducive atmosphere for fruitful communication and interactive reflection of thoughts and ideas, and, building an action-oriented framework to work on issues related to professional and cultural growth of the community.
While personal growth is always a major focus, APIC's list of concern is almost unlimited. The members of the organization meet on a regular basis to address issues related to Affirmative Action in personnel selection procedure and its impact on Asian Pacific Islander community, support of college and community programs assisting all groups of minority students, and designing of activities to foster campus-wide understanding and appreciation of richness and diversities of Asian Pacific Islander cultures. The organization plans to achieve its objectives through the leadership of its executive committee and through co-operation with the college President and administration.
While the Executive Committee of the organization
provides leadership by developing broad work agenda, organizing meetings
and overseeing year round activities, five different subcommittees supervise
specific tasks of the organization, proposes action plans to the Executive
Committee, and plans special day events. The Executive Committee consists
of four elected officers (the President, Vice President, Secretary, and
Treasurer) and the chairs of the subcommittees.
The Caucus extends its membership to all individuals of Asian Pacific
Islander background without excluding any country, or area from its mandate.
In addition, it extends membership to any individual with a demonstrated
commitment to the goals of the organization. Membership fee is $15 a year
for faculty and staff and $5 a year for students.
