Central New Mexico Community College was recently named the safest college campus in New Mexico in a study by Yourlocalsecurity.com.
The study used data from the U.S. Department of Education and the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report. It looked at 435 schools in the country and analysed hate crimes per enrolled students, property crime per population, violence against women per enrolled females, and violent crime per population.
Campus safety is paramount to CNM. There is a security team working all day every day in order to create a campus environment that the entire college community feels safe and secure in.
There are many things that the team does to ensure campus safety. Security officers can be found in all areas of campus on foot, bicycle or official security vehicles, working hard to protect the college community.
Chief of Security, John Corvino commented “We have our ‘Hello Campaign,’ where our officers are required to stop and have a conversation with students, staff, faculty and visitors on campus. This really helps us cultivate a better sense of community. By embedding ourselves within the community, we are fostering a safer learning and working environment for everybody.”
This is one of the initiatives in place that has helped CNM to achieve the status of the safest college campus in New Mexico, a feat the entire college is proud of.
In keeping with a reputation for safety CNM has established a dedicated Covid-19 resource, inclusive of online learning, for students in order to effectively support them during the coronavirus pandemic.
