Counselors are available on campus at the Counseling Center in the Student Center. While the majority of our guards have safety experience, either in law enforcement or a military police, they are not sworn officers under ORS 133.005, and are not armed. While on campus, they are empowered to conduct investigations and contacting local safety authorities. They are primarily responsible for the physical security of the campus buildings and facilities. The Campus Security closely coordinates its activities with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Excellent communication exists between enforcement agencies.
The college collects and discloses annually information relating to camps security procedures and practices. 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.
