Campus Safety & Security
Campus Safety & Security
The mission of District Safety & Security of the Rancho Santiago Community College District is to serve and protect the people and property at all District locations and to ensure a safe and secure educational environment that encourages personal and intellectual growth.
To accomplish this mission, our primary activity is to perform visible and continuous patrols of District properties so that we are available to our students, staff, and guests to perform safety and security services and to deter crime. Each District Safety Officer is expected to carry out the duties of their assignment with courtesy, consideration, empathy, self-control, impartiality, and honesty. The department will work cooperatively with all others in the District to establish mutual trust and respect.
