The Basics
Program your phone with the SKC Campus Security number 406-239-6267
Call 9-1-1 in all Emergencies!
If a friend seems ill, get help immediately. Don’t worry about getting them “in trouble.” Their safety and well-being are most important.
Trust your instincts!! If something feels wrong with a person, building or situation, something probably is wrong. Change your plans, move away from the person, get out of the area-whatever is necessary for you to feel comfortable.
