Students should feel free to contact campus security at any time they feel unsafe while on campus. Campus security officers are responsible for the security of college buildings and grounds and enforcement of traffic and parking regulations. They have the authority to quell disturbances, direct persons off college property, and enforce college policies, rules, and regulations including the Casper College Student Code of Conduct and housing, parking, and traffic regulations. They may require identification of any person on campus or search any areas owned or controlled by the college including personal effects. Officers may impound prohibited articles or order their owner’s immediate removal from campus. Refusing to allow an officer to search an allowable area or interfering with a search may result in disciplinary action. Officers may ask to search a privately owned vehicle. The owner/operator may refuse the request; however, they may be required to remove the vehicle from campus, and their campus operating and parking privileges may be suspended.
Campus security has personnel on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. They are CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) trained. Officers will unlock vehicles and provide vehicle jump-starts and safety escorts.
