Office of Emergency Management
CCD strives to provide a safe and healthy environment that supports your learning process.
Each student and employee should be able to attend classes, work on campus, and/or participate in activities with a feeling that they are in a safe and secure environment.
The Auraria Campus Police are full-time, fully certified Colorado peace officers, dispatchers, and security officers. In addition to patrolling the campus regularly each day and night, they have put into place helpful procedures for campus-wide safety.
