The University of Minnesota/Carlson School of Management is committed to providing a safe, secure and healthy environment for its students, faculty, staff, patients and visiting public. Campus health and safety encompasses personal security and public safety, safe and efficient movement to and throughout the campuses, preservation of physical and fiscal resources, safe and healthful facilities, emergency management, and protection of the environment.
Ensuring the safety of the University community is a group effort-we all must do our part. When working, visiting, or attending classes on campus, keep in mind the following:
--Report any suspicious persons or activities to the U of M Police.
--Do not prop open entrances to buildings.
--Lock your work and living areas every time you leave.
--Report all maintenance problems to Facilities Management.
--Use the escort service rather than walk alone at night.
--Be mindful of your surroundings.
--Report lost access cards immediately.
It is absolutely critical for our students, staff, faculty, and visitors to feel safe when they are on campus. The University Police ensures the security of our campus grounds and facilities, through regular patrols and through its partnerships with other University departments and programs. The University of Minnesota is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone who lives, works, and studies on our campus.
For ambulance, fire, or police services, the number to call is 9-1-1. You do not need an outside line, nor do you need change for pay phones. Dialing 911, on campus, will directly contact you with the University of Minnesota Police Department. Dial 4-COPS (612/624-2677) using campus phones to contact the U of M Police for non-emergency assistance. Free Security Escort Service: Dial 4-WALK (612/624-9255).
Emergency alert radios have been placed in selected offices within the Carlson School and other buildings across campus. This alert radio will sound an alarm tone in the event of a county/city wide alert. The radio tone is activated by the University of Minnesota Police Department in the event of a weather or other civil emergency. The tone will be followed by a voice message explaining the nature of the emergency (i.e. tornado warning, required evacuation). At the sound of the tone, please LISTEN to the message and pass the warning on to others in nearby areas. Take any necessary actions you feel appropriate to protect yourself.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is provided in an enclosed case on the wall between the two stairways near the southwest entrance on the first floor near the kiosk desk. The device talks and will verbally give you instructions on how to use the device. AED's are the ONLY effective treatment for the most lethal type of sudden cardiac arrest.
The Carlson School provides a University of Minnesota Police Security Monitor to help keep our facility safe and secure . The security monitor is available for assistance Monday though Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and is on duty 24 hours Saturday and Sunday. The security monitor is stationed at the first floor kiosk desk or can be dispatched by calling the University of Minnesota Police Department at 612/624-COPS or dial 911 in an emergency situation. The security monitor has been provided a general master key and UCard clearances if someone needs assistance in accessing areas after-hours and on weekends.
