Countless efforts contribute to Johnson County Community College’s safety standards. Our team works seven days a week to give students, faculty, staff and visitors peace of mind on campus. While this diligence requires no recognition, it certainly has not been overlooked – recently, JCCC was named the Safest College in Kansas by ADT.
Alisa Pacer, Emergency Preparedness Manager, says “We are proud to be named the safest college in Kansas. This ranking reflects a team effort that is made possible by our college community, including those who attend training, those who report issues and those who serve to make safety and security at JCCC a priority.”
Whether you’re on campus to take classes, visit the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art or attend an event, it is essential to be in the know about the safety programs and procedures we have in place.
Police Services
Our police department, which consists of 20 sworn law enforcement officers, a detective, an emergency preparedness manager and 12 civilian employees, serves the campus all day, every day.
They provide a full range of police services, including:
Investigating all crimes committed, which could result in an arrest and/or prosecution for the offense
Providing crime prevention and community services programs
Emergency Management
Enforcing traffic laws
Maintaining crowd control for campus special events
KOPS-Watch
Our emergency preparedness program, Keeping Our People Safe (KOPS)-Watch, allows students, staff, faculty and visitors to anonymously report strange or unusual behavior, including:
Welfare alert (concern for person)
Violent behavior
Substance abuse or use
Unusual or erratic behavior
Discrimination or harassment
Criminal activity on or near the JCCC campus
JCCC Alert
All students and employees are automatically signed up for JCCC Alert, an emergency notification system that allows us to quickly communicate emergency information through:
Emergency text messages
Emails to all stumail.jccc.edu and employee email accounts
Public address system voice announcements
Classroom and office landline phone alerts
Desktop computer alerts in offices and labs
Alert postings on JCCC’s website

JCCC Guardian
We also encourage the campus community to use JCCC Guardian, our free smartphone application. The app’s features include one-button access to call campus police, an outlet for users to share their safety status with loved ones and a link to provide medical information directly to emergency responders.
ALICE
ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate), is an armed/violent intruder response training we provide to all faculty, staff and students. This curriculum was implemented in 2012, and faculty and staff members take refresher training on an ongoing basis.
