The Cape Cod Community College Department of Public Safety is here to protect and serve the campus community. The College employs POST-certified police officers and security officers to provide public safety and emergency services. Additionally, there are partnerships with the Massachusetts State Police, Barnstable County Sheriff's Office and the West Barnstable Fire Department to support operations and campus officers have direct radio communication with Barnstable Police in an emergency.
The Department is comprised of the Director of Public Safety who manages the operation and an investigator who also serves as a community resource officer; both are sworn officers who carry firearms and can make arrests. Uniformed security officers patrol the campus 24/7 by foot, vehicle and bicycle and respond to calls for service. Together the staff are tasked with providing crime prevention, security and law enforcement on campus. The Department also provides periodic training to faculty, students, and staff in the areas of personal safety and security awareness.
Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe learning and working environment, but we cannot do this without your help. All members of Cape Cod Community College should report criminal actions to the Office of Public Safety immediately. Additionally, if you see something, says something. Suspicious activity is just that; please communicate all suspicious activity to our department. The Cape Cod Community College Department of Public Safety is a partner with the entire college community, and we will act to support college policy, uphold local or state laws, and increase safety on campus.
The mission of the Cape Cod Community College Department of Public Safety is to, with all due diligence, preserve the safety of all College patrons and property. This mission will be accomplished by partnering and collaborating with the community, by providing service in a professional, courteous manner, and by acting with integrity, fairness, and respect for all individuals.
