Campus safety information and resources

Delta College is dedicated to fostering public safety and securing a campus environment that encourages academic excellence. Educating our community on safety awareness contributes to this effort.

Report an emergency

To report a crime or an emergency on campus, contact the Delta College Department of Public Safety in N102, or call 989-686-9111. A crime or emergency which occurs off campus should be reported to the police department having legal jurisdiction for that area. If Public Safety cannot be reached, call 911.

In collaboration with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), the Department of Public Safety participates in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Unused or expired medications can be turned in to Delta College Public Safety Office during normal business hours for safe disposal. The service is free and anonymous.

To get your student ID card, you must come to the Department of Public Safety and bring your current class schedule, along with your driver’s license or State Identification card. The first student ID is free and any additional, or replacement student ID cards, cost $5, which is payable at the Cashier’s Office.

Students may contact the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to request the opening of a locked classroom. The student must be authorized by their instructor on a list at the DPS. The student could then have access to check out a key for the day.

Contact the Department of Public Safety, either in person or by phone. You will need to give the dispatcher your name, location and a description of your vehicle, and an officer will escort you safely to your vehicle.

Sexual assault/abuse resources

A directory of on-campus and community resources is available from Delta College’s Equity Office for sexual assault/abuse survivors. Included are contacts for immediate and ongoing assistance.

The Resource Handbook for Campus Sexual Assault Survivors, Friends and Family (PDF) is provided by the State of Michigan and presents basic information about campus sexual assault. It’s main objective is to help survivors begin their journey toward healing and to enable family and friends to support loved ones who have experienced a sexual assault on campus.

Policies applicable to minors on college property

While all Delta College regulations and rules of conduct are applicable to minors while on college property, there are no specific regulations, rules or policies that are only applicable to minors. A complete listing of the Regulations and Rules of Conduct is available in the student handbook.

Delta College’s Annual Security Report includes annual statistical disclosure of reported crimes for the previous three calendar years. This report complies with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Acts and is also part of Delta’s ongoing effort to inform our campus and community of available safety programs and services.
