- Lauretta Hill
Chief of Police
- Call
911 from a campus phone
- Call
972-860-4290 when using a cellphone or noncampus phone
Your call is handled through the centralized dispatch system for all campuses and locations of Dallas College. When contacting police, always identify yourself and the location (college, building, floor and room) that is of concern to you.
(Why call campus police instead of city police? Because
the response will generally be faster.)
