Campus Safety Personnel

Campus Safety staff is comprised of a Director and several uniformed full and part-time officers.  Campus Safety officers are unarmed and have been empowered by the DWC administration to enforce all college polices and regulations.  It is our philosophy to provide enforcement through education and promote a learning environment rather than one of strict enforcement.

Campus Safety Officer Training

All Campus Safety officers are required to attend an extensive in-house training program that spans Three weeks and totals approximately 100 hours.  Topics included in this training are:

1. Diversity training

2. Community relations and verbal skills

3. Search and seizure rights and polices

4. First aid and CPR

5. Crisis management

6. Non-violent crisis intervention

7. Judicial processes

8. Constitutional and civil rights and laws

9. Liability

10. Alcohol detection

11. Controlled substance detection

12. Traffic control techniques

New officers are also required to attend the NHACULEA academy that is sponsored by the College and Universities chiefs association

All officers are also trained in first aid and CPR and some as EMT's.  All officers can provide assistance in the event of a medical emergency.
