Greetings and welcome to Coastal Bend College
Welcome from the Chief of Police and Emergency Management for the Coastal Bend College Police Department (CBCPD) and Director of Public
Safety for the Coastal Bend College District. The CBCPD is committed to
maintaining a safe and secure atmosphere for students, employees, and visitors. The CBCPD is responsible for law enforcement, security, and emergency
response on the campus.
Organizationally, the CBCPD
is led by the Chief of Police, who reports directly to the College President.
The Coastal Bend College Police Department is a small police agency, and supplements
the college’s law enforcement ability by employing outside law enforcement
officers to enhance our law enforcement and crime prevention capabilities at
all our sites on an as-needed basis.
Your safety is my number
one concern. CBC community members - students, faculty, staff, vendors and
guests – have a right to safe and secure environment, both collectively and
individually. Each member is therefore encouraged to report all crimes
and public safety related incidents directly to the CBCPD or to any CBC Site
Director or other employee.
Accurate and prompt
reporting ensures that the CBCPD is able to evaluate, consider, and send timely
warning reports to CBC community members, as well as to accurately document reportable
crimes in its annual statistical disclosure. Some of the most common
examples of criminal conduct that may occur on campus include; assault, some types of threats, theft,
drug possession, criminal mischief (damage or destruction of property) and
motor vehicle burglary.
We sincerely hope you
enjoy your time at Coastal Bend College as you achieve you academic or
workforce dreams. We pledge to provide you with a safe and comfortable learning
experience or visit. We will strive to provide you with timely notifications
and information you may need to assess your own safety and security needs while
on our sites.
