Campus Security provides 24-hour-a-day patrol protection for college buildings, grounds, and parking lots. It responds to crime reports, fires, medical emergencies, traffic accidents, and other incidents requiring police assistance.

Students, faculty, and staff can report emergencies to Campus Police/Security by dialing extension 3382 from any on-campus phone or calling the police by dialing 9-911. To report security or safety hazards or other non-emergency situations, call Campus Security at 686-3382.

Anyone who must walk alone on campus at night is encouraged to take advantage of a Campus Police/Security escort by dialing extension 3555 or 3382 from a campus phone. A member of the Campus Police/Security staff will accompany the caller to any campus building or parking lot.

Identification Card

During registration, a student must obtain an identification card and parking decal. Students enrolled in credit courses obtain their identification card and parking decal from the Campus Police/Security office, located at the back annex of the White Building. Students taking noncredit continuing education classes go to Corporate Education. Adult high school and basic skills students go to the Basic Skills Center, and English as a Second Language students go to the White Building, room 49.

Campus Safety Tips

  • Park in well-lighted areas and lock your car, even in the daytime. Keep packages and personal belongings out of sight.
  • Do not walk or jog alone, especially after dark. Call Campus Police/Security for an escort.
  • Be aware of people and activities around you, and report suspicious behavior to Campus Police/Security.
  • Stay Alert! Avoid talking on your cell or using electronic devices when walking
  • Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uneasy, avoid the person or leave.
  • Have your car key in hand before you reach the door.
  • Be careful if anyone in a car asks you for directions – if you answer, keep your distance from the car.
  • If you feel threatened, don't be afraid to make a "scene". Public embarrassment is the least concern when you are in a dangerous situation.

First Aid

Campus Police/Security personnel can provide first aid for minor injuries. They are also trained as first responders in medical emergencies. For medical assistance, call extension 3555 or 9-911.

Lost and Found

Any lost and found items should be turned in to the Police/Security office. Persons looking for lost items should check in the Security office.
