MCAST has launched a new initiative to enhance safety and security on its campuses by partnering with the Malta Police Force. Under this plan, uniformed police officers will patrol the Paola, Qormi, and Mosta sites for several hours each week, starting next week and resuming in October 2024.
The college emphasized that “the presence of police officers on-site will serve to enhance safety on our campus for the students and the MCAST staff community.” Officers will have the authority to conduct searches on students and their belongings if there is reasonable suspicion of prohibited or stolen items.
To facilitate these searches, each institute will provide enclosed and private areas. This proactive approach aims to prevent incidents and ensure a secure environment, reflecting MCAST’s commitment to the well-being of its community. The college believes that this measure will “significantly contribute to the prevention of any unpleasant incidents and ensure peace of mind for all employees and students.”
