Fisher College Clery Report 2016

A Message from the Director of Public Safety
Fall 2016
Dear Fisher Community:
Fisher College is committed to the safety of the students, faculty, staff, and visitors who come to our campus.
The Fisher College Department of Public Safety’s main priority is to ensure not only that you stay safe
while you are on campus, but that you feel safe too. We are also concerned with protecting the property
and assets of the college, enabling Fisher to offer rich and productive learning experiences.
The Department of Public Safety (DPS) embraces a community policing philosophy. Expect to see us out
and about, interacting with students and staff at events and meetings. It is our goal to understand the
safety needs of this community and in order to do that, we need to get to know the individuals who make
up the community. We are actively looking for ways to become involved with our community so we can
become a true and valuable resource while you are here at Fisher College.
The Department of Public Safety operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week, all year-round. The department
patrols the College properties, provides emergency response services, and offers various safety
awareness and training programs listed in this publication. As with any community, we depend on members
of the campus to remain vigilant, report any concerns, and make personal safety and the safety of
those around you a priority. With your help, and your prompt reporting of any suspicious activity, we can
make a difference in reducing the opportunity for crime on campus.
We can be reached at extension 8880 from on campus or dial 617-236-8880 from your cell phone or a
landline. Please enjoy your time here at Fisher College, and stay safe.
