Public Safety Officers respond to many calls for service and we like to communicate our activities to the college community.  Here are some of the notable incidents from this past month.

On Oct. 1, while on patrol, a Public Safety Officer at Madison College’s Truax campus observed a male man restraining a woman who was trying to leave during an argument.  The Officer separated both parties and after investigation asked the man to leave campus for the day.  The woman remained with the Officer, who then facilitated her safe exit from the scene.

On Sept. 29, Public Safety Officers rendered aid to a patient having a seizure in the Truax Library.  Madison Paramedics arrived and transported the patient to a local hospital.

On Oct. 6, Public Safety Officers responded to a theft of 3 laptops from a classroom at the Truax Campus.  Public Safety is investigating the theft.  Any pertinent information concerning this crime may be delivered in person or via phone to the Public Safety office at Truax room B1240, 608-246-6932, Monday-Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., or emailed to [email protected].
