Mid strives to provide a safe, secure, and equitable environment for all students, employees, and guests. At Mid, safety is something we all share. Every member of our community plays a vital role by practicing good safety habits, reporting concerns, and following guidelines that help protect one another.
This webpage, maintained by the Office of Safety & Security Operations, provides important information and resources related to campus safety and security. Email sos@midmich.edu with any questions or concerns.
Mid’s safety and security concerns are coordinated through the Office of Safety & Security Operations and is comprised of the Director of Campus Safety & Security, Liaison Officers, and Building Monitors. They are assisted by the College’s Core Crisis Team, which is comprised of the College President, Provost, Vice President of Student Services & Advancement, Vice President of Finance & Administration, Associate Vice President of Human Resources, Director of Safety & Security, Director of Facilities, Director of Information Technology, Director of Strategic Communications, Mt. Pleasant Liaison Officer, Harrison Liaison Officer, and the Director of College Compliance & Ethics.
Day-to-day campus safety and security efforts are overseen by the Director of Campus Safety & Security, whose contact information is as follows.
Daytime campus security services are provided by the Clare County and Isabella County Sheriff’s Departments, with Liaison Officers assigned to each campus. These uniformed liaison officers are armed and have full powers of arrest. Their role is to maintain a peaceful campus environment by carrying out the responsibilities of certified law enforcement officers. Their duties include, but are not limited to, responding to reports of alleged criminal incidents, deterring criminal behavior, providing guidance to the campus community on safety and security issues, and upholding local, state, and federal laws.
During the evening hours, College facilities are supported by Building Monitors. These are employees of the College. Building Monitors are NOT security officers and they do not have arrest powers. They are to provide assistance by ‘observing and reporting’ violations of law, contacting 911 in cases of emergencies that require response from fire, police, or ambulance, and assisting responding agencies in such events by communicating with the Director of Campus Safety & Security, the College’s Core Crisis Team, or a member thereof. They are responsible for general services such as ensuring that all College buildings are locked and secure, walking the campus, providing escorts for vehicles, locking and unlocking classrooms for instructors, assisting with customary campus support, inspections of equipment, and providing information.
Liaison Officers are generally on campus 7am - 4pm Monday - Thursday. Hours may vary between the two campuses and during the summer, depending on activities and the schedule of courses.
Building Monitors are generally on campus 4pm - 10pm Monday - Thursday and Fridays 7am - 5pm. Evening coverage and hours vary, depending on activities and the schedule of courses.
Events and activities that take place outside of normal building hours are monitored by a representative of the department hosting the event or activity.
Additional services provided include escort services, access control, campus surveillance, property patrol, parking enforcement, emergency assistance (first aid, auto-jump start), lost and found, and general campus information and directions.
Mid’s Annual Security Report (ASR) shares important information about campus safety, including policies, procedures, and crime statistics from the past three years. The report is required by the federal Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act) and is prepared each year by the Office of College Compliance & Ethics. Published by October 1, the ASR is here to keep our campus community informed and aware. The ASR provides helpful information about safety measures, how to report incidents, potential hazards, available resources, and campus crime statistics because being informed is one of the best ways to stay safe.
In an emergency, contact 911, or for non-emergency matters that may require assistance from law enforcement, contact the following agency with responding jurisdiction for the Harrison or Mt. Pleasant Campuses as follows.
For incidents occurring at off-campus events or activities, contact 911 or the law enforcement agency with responding jurisdiction, and follow up with Safety & Security.
Anonymous tips may be reported to the Michigan State Police. For various tip line information, visit the Michigan State Police Tip Lines webpage.
There are various Urgent Care Facilities throughout Clare, Gladwin, and Isabella Counties that offer walk-in medical assistance for non-emergency health-related matters. For health-related matters that require immediate emergency assistance, call 911 or visit the nearest emergency room.
While most emergency rooms offer sexual assault evidence collection kits, they may not have Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) on staff. SANE personnel have received specialized training in the collection of evidence, testing, and treatment. Currently, McLaren Hospital in Mt. Pleasant offers specialized nursing services. For alternate SANE Service locations, consider contacting (800) 656-HOPE.
Mid seeks to establish an environment that is safe and secure for any persons who utilize the College, including minor children. A variety of interactions with minor children occur every day on campus when children are present with guests, visitors, or as prospective/enrolled students. Our dual-enrolled population has many students under the age of 18. Children also actively participate in programs and activities hosted by the College or third parties. When young children accompany an employee, student, or visitor to the campus, the child should be under the constant supervision of a responsible adult. This requires an unobstructed line of sight between the child/children and the adult. The child/children should be disciplined and non-disruptive to the learning/work environment. Additionally, per the College’s Code of Conduct, children are prohibited in classrooms, laboratories, testing centers, or other areas of instruction.
Minors who have been admitted to the College, children who participate in organized, scheduled activities/events, and dual enrolled high school students, are permitted on campus without adult supervision. Parents/guardians of minor children that engage in scheduled activities or events are encouraged to enroll in Mid’s visitor emergency notification system or MidAlert!. This would provide them with text message alerts in the event of a campus closure or situation that warrants the issuance of an emergency notification or timely warning.
All members of the campus community have an obligation to protect the welfare of minor children and should report any suspected acts of child abuse or neglect. Pursuant to the Michigan Child Protection Act 238 of 1975 (MCL 722.623), only certain types of individuals (e.g., school administrators, teachers, law enforcement, child care workers) who have information or reasonable cause to suspect that a child under the age of 18 is being abused, neglected, or exploited, are required to file an immediate report. In Michigan, these individuals are referred to as ‘Mandated Reporters.’ Although these Reporters are specifically designated, any individual who suspects acts of child abuse or neglect should file a report with the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services by calling (855) 444-3911.
Participation in student clubs, organizations, and athletics provides meaningful opportunities for leadership, engagement, and personal growth, all of which enrich the college experience. These affiliations strengthen the sense of community on campus. However, when membership or inclusion is tied to hazing, it jeopardizes individual health and safety and diminishes the collective well-being of the College. As such, Mid strictly prohibits hazing as a condition of inclusion in any athletic program, student organization, or employment setting. Hazing undermines the integrity of the College community and negatively impacts student groups, recognized or unrecognized organizations, employees, and the overall campus culture.
The College maintains an Anti-Hazing webpage that includes the full Anti-Hazing Policy, Campus Hazing Transparency Report, options for reporting hazing, as well as prevention strategies such as: Recognizing the Signs of Hazing, Bystander Intervention, Types of Hazing, and links to external resources.
All members of the campus community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that respects the rights of others. Mid maintains a zero-tolerance policy for acts of discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct—including dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Mid’s Non-Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct & Other Prohibited Conduct Policy reinforces these principles and provides recourse for individuals whose rights have been violated. The policy defines community expectations in the workplace, classroom, College facilities, and all College-sponsored activities or events, whether on or off campus. It applies to all employees, students, and other individuals participating in, or attempting to participate in, Mid’s education programs or activities, including education and employment.
The Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator is the official who is designated and authorized by Mid to oversee the College’s Title IX/Civil Rights program and ensure compliance with federal rules and regulations. The Deputy Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator serves under the coordinator and oversees Mid’s response efforts when reports of misconduct are made. This includes the coordination of intake, assessment, investigation, and resolution. The Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator are expected to act with independence and authority, free from bias and conflicts of interest.
Contact information for Mid's Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator is listed just below this accordion.
The College encourages individuals who have experienced acts of discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct (including dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault) to report the conduct to the College’s Title IX Coordinator or law enforcement. The College understands that there are many barriers to reporting, both individual and societal.
Not every individual will choose to make a formal report but still may need someone to speak with in confidentiality, who is not required to report the incident to the College’s Title IX Coordinator. For such individuals, the College offers limited counseling through the Counseling & Wellness Services department.
The Director of Counseling & Wellness Services is a professional counselor and is subject to legal confidentiality. This prohibits the release of information without an individual’s express consent, except as required by law.
If someone makes a report of criminal or sexual violence to the College’s confidential resource, the individual will be provided with options and information on the steps of submitting a voluntary, confidential report. This Report allows the College to determine if the incident should be reported among the crime statistics in the Annual Security Report. Personal information is NOT disclosed in the crime statistics.
Information about Mid’s Counseling & Wellness Services is available online or may be obtained by contacting
As College counseling services are limited and, in an effort to support an individual’s right to speak with someone confidentially, the College maintains a Community Assistance Resource page. Information on this page includes external services for Domestic/Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, Substance Abuse, Legal Services, Mental Health, Crisis Counseling, as well as other resources.
Additionally, the College has assembled a Rights, Options & FAQ’s booklet for survivors of sexual misconduct, which is available on the College’s Title IX & Civil Rights webpage. Information includes reporting options through the College and local law enforcement, resources available on and off campus, information on SANE examinations, how to obtain a College No Contact Order and acquire a Personal Protection Order from the Courts, etc. A resource handbook, published in 2018 by the Office of the Governor in conjunction with the former First Lady of Michigan, entitled A Resource for Campus Sexual Assault Survivors, Friends, and Family, is also available.
Mid strongly encourages anyone who experiences or observes discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, retaliation, or other prohibited conduct to promptly report the incident and seek assistance from the College.
Submitting a report allows the Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator or Deputy Coordinator to provide information, resources, and supportive measures. A report does not initiate a formal investigation. A Complainant may start with a report and later decide whether to file a formal complaint.
Any student, staff member, third-party, or bystander who experiences, observes, or becomes aware of any prohibited conduct is urged to report it to the College’s Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator, the Deputy Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator, Safety & Security, or by using the online incident report form.
For incidents occurring at off-campus events or activities, contact 911 or the law enforcement agency with responding jurisdiction. Please complete the notification by contacting Safety & Security or the Title IX/Civil Rights Coordinator/Deputy Coordinator.
The College also maintains a Daily Crime Log for the purpose of recording any criminal incident or alleged criminal incident that is reported to or identified by Safety & Security or Campus Security Authorities that occurred on College property, or at off-campus locations hosting courses, activities, or events. Crime information is placed in the Daily Crime Log, which reflects the date the crime was reported, the date the crime occurred, the crime location, the nature of the incident, as well as the disposition of the crime.
The most recent 60 days of the Daily Crime Log are available for immediate public inspection at 1375 South Clare Avenue, Room 204 or 205, Harrison, Michigan, or 2600 South Summerton Road, CSS 146, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan; Monday through Friday between 8:30am and 4:30pm. Crime Logs older than 60 days will be made available, upon request and free of charge, within two business days.
The crime logs for the prior two calendar years are available for download below.
