At Jackson College, we offer a comprehensive range of security services designed to ensure the safety and well-being of our campus community. These services include:
Jackson College Security now allows the public to share important public safety information anonymously with security staff via an online form, smart phone app or secure text message about crimes or suspicious activity on college property. The system allows a safe and secure way for students, employees, and visitors to share important information with security staff without fear of retribution. This system is 100 percent anonymous, as the technology removes all identifying information before security sees it and there is no way to identify the sender.

Responsibility for Service: Under no circumstances will the person telephoning for emergency service be responsible for those charges. The person requiring assistance has first responsibility for the charges. Other arrangements may be made at the discretion of the JC Human Resources Department.
The College uses surveillance equipment, including but not limited to cameras and software, in order to ensure employee, student and visitor safety. Surveillance is monitored 24/7 by campus security. Signage regarding the use of building surveillance is posted at main entrances.
Over 1,700 parking spaces are available on the Central Campus. Parking is allowed in designated areas only, and is strictly prohibited in fire/safety vehicle access lanes, city/county bus access lanes, handicap spaces, all campus drives and roadways.
Campus security personnel have been sworn to enforce Summit Township and state parking ordinances on campus. Safety warnings and parking violation citations will be issued when necessary to control parking and to provide a safe means of entry and exit from campus lots.
