Campus Security
The College is committed to providing a safe environment to all individuals who visit and work on this campus. The College has adopted policies and procedures as a means of informing and guiding individuals concerning steps, they can take to report criminal activity and crime prevention. On the Duncan Campus, the College maintains its own security staff, BJH Department of Public Safety. The BJH Department of Public Safety handles all calls for service, traffic enforcement, and accident investigation. The BJH Department of Public Safety is not a guarantor of the safety of students and their property at the College. Campus safety depends on everyone. Student attitudes and actions can help protect the entire College community. Students must take precautions to prevent injury, harm, or damage to persons or property including such things as avoiding dark and vacant areas, closing and locking doors and windows, not propping doors open, and reporting suspicious persons, misconduct, and acts that may cause harm or pose a threat to persons or property. It is important that all crimes occurring on campus be immediately reported to ensure that appropriate action can be taken. Alert bulletins are posted on campus. The security of the building involves patrols 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by BJH Department of Public Safety personnel.
The BJH Department of Public Safety is located at suite 1100 on the first floor of the Mid Campus Center (MCC) at 4590 Children’s Place. A Department of Public Safety Officer is on duty at the First Floor desk in the College from 0700 to 2200. The direct number to the BJH Department of Public Safety is 314-362-0750.
At the West Campus site, all the security services previously mentioned are provided by the Security Department of Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Emergency calls should be made to 314-996-4770.
