Northeast Alabama Community College is committed to providing a safe and secure learning and working environment. To ensure the safety and security of the campus and its constituents, NACC established a Campus Police Office. This office allows the college to fulfill Mission Goal 10, "Provision for and maintenance of a physical plant with instructional facilities and technology which provide a safe learning environment and are suitable for all the institution's programs and services." The main objective of the NACC Campus Police is to safeguard students, personnel, property, and authorized visitors, equipment, and buildings. Each officer is licensed and has full arrest powers under the State of Alabama.

Issuing Timely Warnings to Campus Community

In the event that a situation arises either on campus or in the immediate area of campus that, in the judgment of the President, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus-wide “timely warning” will be issued without delay. The warning will be issued through SchoolCast - a rapid, multiplatform (email, text, and phone) message delivery system - and/or over the college public address system. The information provided will address the status of the College and actions, if any, that need to be taken by students or employees for safety purposes.

If you see something happening that needs to be addressed, say something!

Crime statistics for the previous three years are published in the Annual Security Report (linked above). These reports are compiled utilizing the daily crime log maintained in the Campus Police Office as well as through reports provided by Campus Security Authorities and local police departments. The crime statistic information represents reports received but does not necessarily indicate that a crime was found to have occurred.

Any visitor engaging in any act prohibited by this policy shall be called upon to immediately halt such behavior and/or leave the college premises.
