Security at Dodge City Community College is a shared responsibility between the administration, the students, the campus community, and local law enforcement agencies. While the College takes actions to help increase security, students and visitors also carry a burden to contribute to their own safety by following rules, using common sense, avoiding dangerous situations, and reporting suspicious or threatening activities immediately to campus security.

Access to campus facilities is limited. Vehicles must be registered by purchasing a parking sticker in the office of Student Services.
Student cadets serve as escorts and report suspicious activity. Students wishing to be escorted should call 338-3606 or 227-9466.

Most security officers at Dodge City Community College are active law enforcement officers. As such, these security officers are authorized to carry firearms and have authority to arrest persons suspected of violating the law. Dodge City Community College reports criminal activity to local agencies through the office of Student Services.

If it is determined that a specific danger to the campus community, or specific segments of the campus community exists, an appropriate notification to the community of that danger will be made. This determination will be jointly made by the Campus Security Coordinator, the Associate Dean of Students and/or Dean of Students in consultation with the college attorney.
