Every Security Officer is trained to respond to any emergency situation, whether medical, criminal, or natural. Should an emergency arise on campus, we ask that you call Belmont Security immediately. Once an emergency call is received by our office, we call metro emergency or non-emergency, depending on the need. One officer reports to the scene to offer aid and/or assistance until the appropriate emergency vehicle (police, ambulance, fire) arrives. Another officer reports to a predetermined location to meet the emergency vehicle and to escort them to the location of the incident.  When metro receives a call for service, they may not know where to find the specific location on campus. Our procedures help to expedite services.

These procedures DO NOT prohibit others from calling metro if they choose.
We simply ask that you also give us a call.
