The Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) provides a
healthy, safe, and secure environment for all members of
the campus community. Multiple departments share responsibility
and contribute to support this goal.
The District’s Safety and Security Department has primary
responsibility for providing a safe environment to faculty,
staff and students and safeguarding District assets. Operationally,
the Safety and Security Department is charged with patrolling
the campuses, investigating criminal activity, assisting
motorists, escorting students and staff, and responding
to emergencies. The department conducts periodic seminars
related to crime prevention and personal safety.
The Safety and Security Department maintains an Emergency
Management Plan for the District that includes procedures
for Fire/Explosion, Injury/Illness, Bomb Threats, Civil
Disturbances, Evacuations, Weather, Hazardous Materials,
and Work Place Violence (Reference 1).
Emergency/Safety Procedures are posted in every classroom,
and periodic safety and security meetings are held at each
campus (Reference 2).
The Safety and Security Department maintains and reports
crime statistics (Reference 3) concerning
CCCCD to the Department of Education (in accordance with
the Clery Act) and to the general public. The College posts
a Public Safety Web site, listing crime statistics, emergency
information, crime reporting information, parking guidelines,
etc. (Reference 4).
Facility Managers are responsible for air quality, cleanliness
of the facilities, repairs and maintenance, preventative
maintenance, and workplace safety. All facilities are in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA) guidelines.
All hazardous and potentially hazardous materials are required
to be procured, stored, used, and disposed of in compliance
with state and federal regulations (Reference
5). Current master lists of hazardous materials inventories
and all appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets are maintained
in the Safety and Security Department on Spring Creek Campus
and in the Operations Departments at other campus locations
(Reference 6).
The District has licensed professionals providing counseling
services for all currently enrolled credit students. Examples
of some of the concerns addressed with students include
alcohol and other drug counseling, anxiety and assertiveness,
depression, eating disorders, grief issues, relationships,
and stress management. The counselors assist students in
coping with emotional concerns and in addressing more effectively
any problems impacting their academic and personal growth
(Reference 7).
The CCCCD Wellness Program is also dedicated to helping
employees, students, and community members improve the quality
of their lives. The program is designed to promote a healthier,
happier, and more productive environment (Reference
8).
The Human Resources department, in conjunction with the
Risk Management Manager, is responsible for administrating
the Worker’s Compensation Insurance Program. The Human Resources
department provides employees with information such as HIV
– Aids in the workplace, Drug Free Work Environment (Reference
9), and Sexual Harassment (Reference
