MCW Public Safety offers several community education programs. These programs are offered regularly at no cost to MCW students, faculty, and staff.

CPR/AED and First Aid
This course combines lectures, demonstrations, and video with hands-on training and practice. The purpose is to train a lay responder to overcome any reluctance to act in an emergency situation and to recognize and care for life-threatening respiratory or cardiac emergencies in adults and infants.

Workplace Violence Prevention
Participants will review and understand: the MCW policy on workplace violence; recognize and understand workplace violence; and know the importance and role of each employee in a workplace violence incident.

Citizen Response to an Active Shooter
MCW Public Safety has created a training program to give participants insight and response options when encountering an active shooter.

Personal Emergency Preparedness
Personal Emergency Preparedness is a presentation and discussion on preparing for emergency situations and “prepping” for emergencies at the workplace and at your home.

Personal Safety
The Personal Safety course provides information on how to recognize possible threats to a person's safety and how to deal with those threats should one encounter them.

Self Defense Educational Program for Women
MCW Public Safety offers the R.A.D. Systems Basic Physical Defense course to female MCW staff and students free of charge. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program but rather a comprehensive course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance, and progresses to the basics of hands-on defense.

MCW Public Safety is responsible for maintaining the institution’s mass notification system (MNS). The MNS allows institutional leadership to communicate with the MCW community quickly and effectively during an emergency situation and is the best option to keep up to date with an ongoing event.

All MCW employees and students are enrolled in the MNS through their MCW email. To effectively receive emergency notifications, a cell phone number should be registered in the MNS. Information on how to enroll a cell phone number can be found by contacting Public Safety.

MCW parking policies
MCW has policies which govern where students, faculty, staff, and visitors park while at MCW.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station
In an effort to encourage sustainable means of transport for faculty, staff and students, MCW has installed three electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the lower level of the parking structure. These stations are available for use by those assigned to parking on the MCW Milwaukee campus. As a courtesy to other EV drivers, we ask that you charge responsibly and park in the designated charging station space for no more than four hours at a time.

Bublr Bikes
Bublr Bikes is greater Milwaukee’s bike share program. With Bublr Bikes, you’re able to take a bike from one Bublr Station, take a quick ride to anywhere, and return the bike to any Bublr station that is nearby. Stations are available in Milwaukee, Shorewood, Wauwatosa and West Allis. There is a Bublr station located on the MCW campus for your convenience.
