Leave your guns at home!!

Dear Employees:

The highest priorities at Santa Fe College are education, service and safety.

Because the college will take all reasonable steps on behalf of safety, I inform you that Santa Fe does not allow employees to have weapons anywhere on campus, including in your vehicles.

There has been some misunderstanding because a new state law in Florida could allow some employees who have concealed weapons permits to keep guns securely encased in their cars while at work. However, Santa Fe College employees are not permitted to have a weapon anywhere on campus because the College falls under the new law’s exception for educational institutions.

The only weapons allowed at Santa Fe are those in possession of sworn law enforcement personnel and those in possession of students at the Institute of Public Safety, where a firearm is part of their instructional program, in connection with their classes as authorized by the Director of the Institute of Public Safety.

You are welcome to contact the SFC Police Department at 352-395-5519 with your questions.
