Public Safety Officers respond to many calls for service and we communicate our activities to the college community. Here are some of the notable incidents from this past summer.

On June 21, while patrolling the Downtown Campus, a Public Safety Officer contacted two men for suspicious activity. Both men were discovered not to be Madison College students. Both men were cited for possession of drug paraphernalia by the Madison Police Department and warned for trespassing. If you see suspicious behavior on campus, please notify Public Safety immediately.

On July 7, Public Safety received a complaint of a disruptive female student and the Truax Fitness Center. The female was located in the Wolfpack Den and discovered to have an active warrant for her arrest. After being warned for her behavior, the Madison Police Department then took custody of the female and transported her to the Dane County Jail.

On July 13, Public Safety received a complaint of a student that threatened his instructor at Truax. The student was contacted and referred to the Behavioral Intervention Team on campus. We would like to remind all faculty and staff to call Public Safety immediately to report threats or serious behavior issues that are not classroom correctable. Always follow-up by submitting a BIT referral, which can be found here: madisoncollege.edu/behavioral-intervention-team

On Aug. 2, a Public Safety Officer responded to a report of female having chest pains near the Wright Street crosswalk at Truax. The Officer rendered aid until the female was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.

On Aug. 8, Public Safety received a theft complaint of metal equipment to John Deere tractors in the Center Court of the Truax campus. On Aug. 18, more items were discovered to be stolen from the same area. If you have any information about this incident, please call Public Safety at 608-246-6932.
