Porterville College: Ensuring Safety for an Open Campus
Porterville College is an open campus located at the base of the Sierra Mountain Range
in the Southeastern area of Tulare County. Because of its open accessibility, all
students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to exercise a sense of personal responsibility
for their own safety and well-being, and the safety and well-being of others. While
crime can happen anywhere, when we act as a community that knows and cares about the
safety of others, ourselves, and our property, we lessen the likelihood of being victimized,
and we showcase our Pirate Pride.
Campus Safety Officers
PC’s Department of Public Safety relies on officers with exemplary customer service
skills and previous law enforcement experience. All officers employed with the department
receive specialized training in campus police, safety operations and continually partake
in professional training in First Aid, CPR, emergency response, and disaster preparedness.
Upon employment, they also complete the Porterville College Field Training Officer
program. Additionally, our Safety Officers have received certifications required by
California Penal Code 832
by the
California Commission on Peace Officer Standards & Training
and the
California Bureau of Security & Investigative Services
to meet the requirements set forth in
California Education Code 67381
and
SB1626
Student Safety Representatives (SSR)
The department employs SSR’s through the Federal Work Study (FWS) program that are
enrolled in criminology classes and/or that express an interest in public safety.
SSR’s help and assist the college community by aiding in parking enforcement and provide
customer service by manning the Safety Security Window located at the Student Cafeteria.
SSR’s also provide foundational department services like safety escorts, student dispatch,
Officer assists, and more. This program provides SSR’s a unique opportunity to experience
and learn about work in the Public Safety field.
Porterville Police Resource Officer
PC is always looking for ways to improve the safety and security of students, staff,
and community members on campus. Through an agreement between the college and the
Porterville Police Department, the college receives additional support by the PD with
our very own dedicated Police Officer assigned solely to the campus. With this long-standing
partnership between both agencies, we have been able to take huge strides towards
a safer campus and increased security, greatly minimizing incidents and deterring
crime on campus.
