What’s happening?  
Public Safety officers respond to many calls for service and we enjoy communicating our activities to the college community.  Here are some of the notable incidents from this past month.

On Dec. 13, Public Safety officers responded to a medical emergency and rendered aid.  City of Madison paramedics responded and the subject was transported to a local hospital for the injuries.

On Dec. 13, Public Safety officers responded to a disruptive subject in The Salon who was unhappy with the service.  He became profane and belligerent at which time Public Safety Officers responded.  The situation escalated quickly and Public Safety Officer and Madison Police officer’s had to subdue the subject with physical force.  After several minutes of fighting with the subject he was restrained. The subject was arrested and charged with battery.  The officers involved sustained minor injuries and damage to uniforms.

Campus Safety Update
After a January board meeting, the board voted to allow full-time Public Safety officers to carry electronic control devices (Taser).  This initiative was approved to better equip officers for the situations they respond to and add a tool to protect the college community.

If you have any information regarding the above incidents or other campus safety concerns, please contact our department at (608) 245-2222. Public Safety officers are available 24/7.
