This report complies with the requirements of the “Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.” This information is published yearly by October 1. Paper reports are available upon request from the MTECH office of Security.
Information regarding reported safety and crime statistics for Mountainland Technical Colleges can be found in the MTECH Security Report 2024.

Mountainland Technical College complies with state law with regard to weapons on campus. Utah state law clearly states that a person may not possess a dangerous weapon, firearm, or sawed-off shot gun on school premises (Utah Code 76-10-505.5) except under certain conditions. One of these exceptions indicates that this criminal statute is not applicable if the person is authorized to possess a concealed firearm as provided by the Concealed Weapon Law. MTECH abides by this law and accordingly allows concealed firearm permit holders to possess their concealed firearm on campus.
There is nothing specifically set forth in the Utah statutes that allows a concealed firearm permit holder to carry that firearm openly on a college campus. State statute defines a concealed dangerous weapon as being covered, hidden, or secured in a manner that the public would not be aware of its presence (Utah Code 76-10-501). As an institution, MTECH respects the right of its students and others to legally carry a concealed firearm under those parameters, as outlined by state law.
With students facing high levels of stress in their lives, faculty and staff may encounter students whose behaviors are concerning, disruptive, or threatening towards themselves or others. To respond to the safety needs of the campus, MTECH has established the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT).
BIT’s primary function is to help keep the MTECH community safe and connect
distressed students to support services. BIT seeks prevention rather than reacting to
students in distress. In doing this, BIT:
BIT is intended to provide resources and assistance to students and is generally not a
disciplinary referral. BIT hopes to intervene before students act in ways that require
disciplinary action.
The role of BIT is to help students succeed. Support may take many forms,
such as an email, a meeting with MTECH Counselors, or other actions appropriate for
that specific question.
BIT attempts to measure generalized risk, mental and behavioral health, and
aggression to determine the need for intervention. Generalized risk includes harm to
facilities, reputation, finances, etc. Mental and behavioral health-related risks include
harm to self.
