UTICA, N.Y. — Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) has recently appointed Bryan Coromato as executive director of public safety and emergency management.
In his new role, he is responsible for the proper administrative and efficient operation of the security and safety functions at the college, MVCC announced. Coromato supervises the daily activities of the security force, develops training programs for the public-security personnel and college employees, and serves as a liaison between the public-security office and various outside agencies.
Prior to joining MVCC, Coromato served as associate director of campus safety at Colgate University in Hamilton. He also worked for the Utica Police Department for 22 years, concluding his time there in 2023 as a captain and commander of the criminal investigations division. Coromato began his career with the Utica Police as a patrol officer, before becoming an investigator and being promoted to sergeant and lieutenant before achieving the rank of captain.
“It is a great honor to come back home and serve my community again,” Coromato said in a statement. “MVCC’s Department of Public Safety is exceptional, and I am very excited to work with this team to ensure the safety of the MVCC community and enhance the MVCC experience for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. I do not think this opportunity would be possible without the high level of training and experience that I was privileged to gain working for the Utica Police Department under the mentorship of Chief Mark Williams along with my recent experience in higher education at Colgate University.”
Coromato holds an associate degree in criminal justice from MVCC, a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Utica University, and a master’s degree in criminal justice from Boston University.
