Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) The safety and security of the College community are of vital concern. HCC is committed to providing and maintaining a safe environment for all employees, students, visitors, and guests. The College will adopt reasonable and practical means to prevent, deter and respond to campus emergencies. The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and the allocation of resources to support the plan are part of the commitment HCC has for the College community. In order to provide a safe environment, the College seeks to maintain a balance between safety and retaining the openness of a college campus. The College provides an emergency notification system to keep employees, students, visitors, and guests informed of emergencies. Sign up at www.hagerstowncc.edu/emergency. Hate Crimes and Bias Hate crimes manifest when an alleged victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator’s bias or because the perpetrator perceived the person to be in one of six protected group categories: religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, disability. Hate crimes that occur on campus or between students should be reported to HCC Campus Police as soon as possible, 240-500-2308. Students may also seek support from the Dean of Students Office. HCC Siren During an emergency on campus, the College will initiate the use of its external siren system to alert the campus of the emergency. If you hear the siren, listen to the message immediately following for directions. Check your phone for HCC text messages and HCC emails. Lost and Found The Lost and Found is maintained by the Campus Police. The Campus Police will initiate a Property Report on all items found or recovered. Items will be held for at least 30 days. The person(s) who found the item(s) may make an application to claim the property in the event that the rightful owner(s) cannot be located.
