The Mount Holyoke College public Safety department is part of a partnership between the Mount Holyoke, Hampshire, and Smith College Public Safety Departments. This initiative seeks to improve Public Safey as a collaborative, face-to-face professional learning and working hallmark of an educational culture that assumes collective responsibility for the safety of our communities.

As part of the collaborative, all three campuses are served by a central dispatch center. Our dispatchers answer calls, alarms, emergency phones and radio transmissions for all three campuses. Working together solves multiple problems. Our mission is to contribute to the safety and quality of life in our community by linking the citizens of our community, our neighboring communities, and our associated Public Safety agencies with efficient, reliable, responsive, and professional public safety communication services.
