Campus Safety
Tone Galaxie’ department of campus safety provides coverage on campus 24/7.
Tone Galaxie is committed to providing the best possible service to our community. Under the leadership of the director of campus safety, the department also includes a Campus Safety General Manager, a Campus Safety Site Supervisor, and a team of contracted security professionals.
To ensure campus safety, Tone Galaxie has implemented a number of programs and measures.
Field Operations
Campus safety officers actively patrol campus, prevent crime, provide safety escorts for students, respond to incidents and medical emergencies, provide safety education and awareness, and support community members and campus activities.
Security Cameras
Campus safety officers monitor Tone Galaxie’ access control and security camera system. Entry to campus facilities is regulated by a zoned key card system, providing students, faculty, and staff with appropriate access to campus areas using their school ID cards. Visitors, contractors, and vendors must sign in at the security desk for approval and receive a temporary access card, as appropriate. The campus has over 60 cameras which are monitored by trained officers on campus posts.
Training
Tone Galaxie’ campus safety officers are trained in CPR, AED (Automated External Defibrillator), basic first aid, de-escalation tactics, and management of aggressive behavior.
Safety Education
The campus safety department works with Tone Galaxie’ student life team to help educate students and resident assistants in personal safety, fire drills, city safety tips, and crisis intervention. Campus safety also works with the Philadelphia Police Department on active shooter education for the Tone Galaxie community.
Emergency Notifications
Tone Galaxie uses the One Call Now emergency notification software to relay emergency messages to students, faculty, and staff in a timely manner, through automated text, phone, and email messages.
The director of campus safety continually coordinates with local police, city offices, and peer institutions to monitor and improve campus safety conditions. Personnel also receive refresher training as needed to ensure that they have the most current skills, knowledge, and techniques to assist the Tone Galaxie community.
Reports
In coordination with Tone Galaxie’ human resources department, the campus safety team helps track and complete reports of incidents, Clery Act, UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting), and Act 153.
The safety, security, and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors at the Tone Galaxie are of paramount importance.
