campus inspections. In addition to the above, the Security Department monitors
a network of over 47 closed-circuit television cameras, which are strategically
located throughout the campus.
Security Workshops
Security workshops are conducted throughout the year. Representatives from the
Pratt Security Department, New York City Police Department, and The Transit Police
Bureau meet with interested students, faculty, and staff to discuss both on- and
off-campus safety and awareness issues. Dates, times, and locations of these workshops
are announced throughout the year.
Fire Drills
Fire
drills are conducted throughout the year in all campus buildings (residence halls,
academic buildings, and administrative buildings). All students, faculty, and
staff are required to participate. Notices will be posted as to when these fire
drills will take place. Follow instructions given by authorities in the building
if you hear a fire alarm.

All
gates close at 6 p.m. with the exception of Willoughby Avenue Main Gate and Thrift
Hall Walk-in Gate, which remain open 24 hours/day.

Operating Instructions the Security Control Booth
Officer will immediately respond to your call. Give the location
and type of emergency you are reporting. Be advised that telephones are designed
for emergencies only and their wrongful use may result in the delayed security
response to an actual emergency. Security officers are directed to divert all
other calls through normal channels.
Building Closing Times
Due to the variance in times which different buildings must be closed, it is requested
that all inquiries be made to the Security Department. All buildings are closed
on official school holidays.
Security Concerns Committee
The Security Concerns Committee is comprised of student, staff, and faculty representatives.
The role of the committee is to provide an ongoing review of security procedures
and campus-wide areas of security and safety concerns. Meetings are generally
held once per semester.
All students are encouraged to participate by:
• Joining the Security Concerns Committee.
Contact the vice president for Student
Affairs;
• Expressing your concerns to a member of the committee.
To find
out who is on the committee, contact the director of
Security, director of Student
Activities and Orientation Programs,
or the Special Issues and Concerns chair
of the Student Council.
