Campus Security

The Security Office is staffed by the DCTC Security team.

The DCTC campus has two main emergency notification systems: Star Alert and Alertus. These emergency communication systems may be used in conjunction with one another or may be used separately depending on the situation.

STAR ALERT EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Get time-sensitive emergency notifications from campus leaders and the Safety and Security Department, within minutes via phone calls, texts and/or email.

Visit the Star Alert or Emergency Preparedness webpages for more information.

Alertus

The Alertus mass communication notification system is in the process of being launched on the DCTC campus. When completely implemented, the DCTC campus will have beacons installed across campus with visible strobes and audible-visual alerting capabilities, emergency alert notices across network-connected devices (laptops and desktops), and emergency notifications on digital campus signage screens. Emergency notifications will also be available on Alertus mobile apps. More information on the Alertus mass communication system will be shared with campus as the launch plans are finalized.

Safety & Security Emergency Management Plan

This Shared Services DCTC and IHCC Safety & Security Emergency Management Plan ensures that college administration is prepared to deal with natural disasters such as floods and fires, technological accidents, and biological and man-made emergencies.

This plan details the processes and procedures for the mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery processes in response to emergency conditions that may occur at either campus location.  These standard procedures are designed to ensure maximum protection of students, staff, and property in the event of an emergency; and to ensure the preservation of organizational communications during emergency conditions.
