The Board recognizes the need to provide for the safety, security and well-being of persons associated with or represented by the College as well as protecting the assets of the College; i.e., its people, property, financial resources and reputation.  To meet this need the College president will appoint staff to research, monitor, track, recommend for approval, implement, and report on activities relating to the risk assessment and risk management for all subjects under the sponsorship of the College or its auxiliaries.

The Board exercises its authority under Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 341.300 to adopt policing, control and regulations of traffic and parking of vehicles on college property under the jurisdiction of the Board.  All applicable vehicle laws, codes and regulations apply on all MHCC properties under the control of the Board. For the purpose of enforcing regulations governing traffic control, Public Safety officers are appointed as peace officers and have the same authority as other peace officers as defined in ORS 133.005 (3).
