GTC Safety Report | Greenville Technical College

At Greenville Technical College, your safety is a top priority as we work to create a secure environment where students can concentrate on learning and professors can focus on teaching. Maintaining that safety takes all of us.

Uniformed police officers take the lead in responding to incidents and deterring criminal activity with help from public safety officers. A warning system is in place, and communication tools include emails and text alerts. Each facility has a trained building marshal and floor captains who carry out emergency notifications and procedures when required. New security cameras and access controls are improving safety for students and employees. An Emergency Preparedness and Incident Committee (EPIC) meets monthly, ready to mobilize at a moment’s notice. All employees are required to complete annual safety training in an effort to keep awareness strong and skills up to date.

With many systems in place, the most effective security measure we have is you. If you see something, please say something. Don’t second guess a gut feeling or ignore something that is out of place. It is far better to report a concern that turns out to be harmless than it is to ignore a red flag.

While crime can’t be eliminated, preparedness and awareness allow us to reduce it to the maximum extent possible. Thank you for being part of the GTC community, coming together to maintain secure classrooms and campuses.
