Police & Safety

​Welcome Message from the Chief

Police Chief Lauretta Hill  

On behalf of the women and men of the Dallas College Police Department, I would like to welcome you to our diverse, fun and vibrant campus community. We are here to serve the needs of our students, faculty and staff by providing a welcoming, accessible, safe and secure educational environment.

Our goal is to build a community of trust through partnerships, transparency, fair and impartial policing. The members of the Dallas College police department are professionals who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals we serve.

You play a key role in keeping our campus community safe. We encourage you to become involved by proactively identifying issues before they become problems and playing an active role in making Dallas College a safe and successful community.

- Lauretta Hill
Chief of Police

To contact your campus police department in an emergency or to report a crime:

  • 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.)

Students and employees who are deaf or hard of hearing, or prefer to text, can text their college or location police in the event of an emergency o​r to report a crime. Text DCCCD to 67283, and Dallas College Police dispatch will answer you by text.
