A Guide for Faculty and Staff
Published by the Glendale Community College
Office of Student Affairs and the Behavioral Management Team

  • The BMT does NOT take the place of Glendale Community College District Police (GCCDPD) and all immediate threats are to be reported to GCCDPD, call 9911 from a campus phone or 911 from a cell phone.
  • Violations of the GCC Standards of Student Conduct are to be reported directly to the Dean, Office of Student Affairs (ext. 5594). 
  • Suspected mental health or medical emergencies are to be reported to the Health Center (ext. 5189).

The Glendale Community College Behavioral Management Team (BMT) operates under the Office of Student Affairs. The BMT is a multidisciplinary team whose dedicated goal is to provide a safe working and positive learning environment, in an effort to promote campus safety. The BMT meets to discuss and develop a plan of action in response to reports of violations of student conduct and/or disruptive behavior that are not an immediate threat.

The BMT works collaboratively to make recommendations and referrals regarding student behavioral violations and helps to develop a plan of action for the Judicial Officer, the student, and the campuses at large. The team makes recommendations and referrals which are then enacted upon by the GCC Judicial Officer.

This project is dedicated to the countless college and university employees who dedicate their careers to ensuring campus safety as well as those who are so committed in providing tangible assistance to individuals suffering from mental health crises. It is our hope that we can be prepared to recognize and respond responsibly to the needs of these individuals, and in turn, avoid a major campus disruption. We are hopeful that we can learn from the traumas that some schools have endured to help to create a campus free from major disruptions.
