Campus Security at Dodge City Community College (DCCC) is a responsibility that is shared by the entire campus community. Campus safety and security are coordinated by the DCCC department of Safety and Security housed in Shelden Hall in the DCCC residence life area. The College employs a full-time, commissioned Coordinator of Security and a staff of security officers and student cadets. As an armed security department, officers respond to emergencies. Additional support is provided by local law enforcement officers from the Dodge City Police Department and the Ford County Sheriff’s Office.

The mission of the College Security Department is to help provide and maintain an atmosphere that enhances the educational process and fulfills the total mission of the College. This mission is accomplished within the framework of Dodge City Community College policies and procedures and all local, state and federal laws.
