Public Safety

Hawkeye Community College provides public safety coverage from 6:00am–11:00pm Monday – Friday. An officer will be on call during off hours.

Public safety officers are trained in basic first aid, emergency procedures, patrolling, and CPR.

The goal of Public Safety is to ensure a safe environment in which all can enjoy their educational experiences while at Hawkeye. Campus security and a multitude of safety concerns are Public Safety's focus and responsibility.

Hawkeye public safety officers are not authorized to enforce local/state laws or to arrest individuals. Hawkeye public safety officers enforce College policies and have jurisdiction to do so on College owned or controlled property.

The Public Safety office maintains good working relationships with local law enforcement authorities, but there is no written memorandum of understanding regarding any topic, including the investigation of criminal incidents, in place between Public Safety and the outside law enforcement agencies that serve the various jurisdictions where Hawkeye Community College sites are located.
