Campus security: Campus security coverage is maintained weekdays by 18 facilities staff members and evenings and weekends by three part-time security guards. All are trained and certified in accordance with Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training guidelines. Security staff may be contacted 24 hours a day, seven days a weekend by calling 440-7777 or campus extension 7777. In addition to providing a safe working and learning environment, Campus Security enforces traffic and parking regulations, promotes crime prevention and secures the college's buildings and facilities. Excellent communication with law enforcement agencies, particularly the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, is also maintained. Information relating to campus crime is collected annually and available upon request.

Individuals on campus, including students, employees, and visitors, should take active responsibility for their personal property. The college maintains its grounds and lighting to ensure the campus is as secure as possible.

College Safety Committee meets monthly to address occupational safety and health issues. The purpose of the committee is to bring members of the college community together in a non-adversarial, cooperative effort to promote safety and health. Student representatives are members of the committee. The meetings are open to anyone.

Be smart! Always lock your car. If you are on campus after dark, move your car to a close spot before your night class.

Buddy up - have classmates walk you to your car, then drive them to theirs.

Know the locations of telephones. Be aware of your surroundings. If you notice anything or anyone, who appears suspicious, report it to Security by dialing 440-7777.
