Emergency Procedures
There is an emergency procedures pamphlet in every classroom, usually located on the wall by the main door. Please review this pamphlet which has different emergency situations and tips to keep yourself safe while on or off campus. Also listed in the pamphlet are signs indicating the location of tornado shelters and AEDs. In case of an active shooter, if you are in a classroom, you will need to take guidance from your faculty. If this type of emergency situation arises and you are not in a classroom, be prepared to take action to keep yourself safe. Here at Sandburg we practice the run/hide/fight mentality. A short training video can be found at this web link: https://www.fbi.gov/video-repository/run-hide-fight-092120.mp4/view

Emergency Phones
Carl Sandburg College has emergency phones inside and outside of campus buildings. Push the button and you will be connected with Sandburg Public Safety dispatch. When you hear the dispatcher speak, tell them your emergency and an officer will respond immediately. Although the vast majority of our students, faculty, staff and visitors do not experience crime at Carl Sandburg College, crime may sometimes occur despite our best prevention efforts. The best protection against campus crime is an aware, informed and alert campus community that reports crime and suspicious behavior in a timely manner while using reason and caution during their daily activities. sandburg.edu/Services/Public-Safety
As part of the overall effort to prevent crime, the College utilizes the following resources:
- A 24/7 campus security personnel presence. The College also has a strong working relationship with the Galesburg Police Department. Officers can be dispatched from city locations to campus within minutes.
- More than two dozen emergency call boxes, which serve as a direct, outdoor link to campus security from almost everywhere on campus (see map for locations).
- State-of-the-art security camera monitoring system consisting of cameras placed in various locations throughout all campuses that are monitored 24 hours a day.
