Residence Hall Safety and Security

Residence Hall Safety and Security
GMC Public Safety and Security, the Director, Associate Directors and Resident Directors of Resident Life, the Resident Assistants, and the residents themselves share responsibility for the security and safety of the residence halls. The Resident Assistants are educated in minor crisis intervention during a Fall and Winter Training. GMC Public Safety and Security provides security services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Besides patrolling the grounds, Security keeps a base of operation in an office located in Loyola Hall. A receptionist and/or a security officer maintain the front desk, located in the lobby of St. Brigid Hall, 24 hours a day. Security maintains an all-night presence at the lobby desk in SBH assuring only residents enter the building after business hours.  A security presence is located in Alexandria Hall from 6:00pm to 6:00am seven days a week.
After 9:00pm residents of Loyola, St. Brigid and Siena halls must enter through the main entrance of St. Brigid Hall.  Alexandria Hall and Treweryn House residents must always enter through the main entrance of their respective residence.  Their guests must enter and leave through this main entrance at all times, where they are to be signed in and signed out.  Residence hall doors are locked to outside entrance and are monitored.  Many doors have video camera surveillance and an audible alarm system. Residents are obligated to observing all security measures promulgated by Security and approved by the Director of the Residence Halls. In any emergency, Public Safety and Security should be notified immediately by calling ext. 111.

For the safety of all residents, security policies will be strictly enforced. Residents are expected to observe proper use of the residence halls entrances and exits. Specific information regarding policies and procedures for the residence halls can be found in the Gwynedd-Mercy College and Resident Life Handbooks.
