Office Security Tips
Columbus State Community College places a high priority on the safety of
its students and staff members. The Campus Police Department strives to
maintain our excellent safety record.
Although uniformed Police officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, it is crucial that the campus community take responsibility
for its safety. 90% of campus crimes are crimes of opportunity. You
reduce your chances of being a crime victim by reducing the opportunity.
By watching out for yourself and others, we can all contribute to a safe
campus environment.
