Del Mar College Police Department

Report Suspicious Activity

You should immediately report incidents to Campus Security. Officers will investigate the incident and assist you in contacting the Corpus Christi Police Department if needed.

You should immediately report items missing from classrooms. In some cases, a missing item can be recovered. Immediately contact Security if you or someone you know is victimized on either campus.

Campus Security provides a means for students to anonymously provide information about crimes on campus. Total anonymity is guaranteed. No personal information is collected with the crime information. Crimes reported through this program are reviewed and investigated by the officers and staff of the Security Department. All information submitted through this program is confidential.

Faculty and staff can obtain a DMC Access Card by visiting the DMC Police Department. To do so, employees need to complete and submit a Employee ID/Access Request Form at the department, or they can email the form to employeeID@delmar.edu.

Occasionally, staff or faculty members require access to offices after normal working hours or during weekends. Not all buildings are in use at these times. Individuals who need to work outside normal business hours must notify the Security Office.

By notifying the office, Security knows who is working in each building and how long they expect to work. In the event of an emergency, Security can contact you if evacuation is needed.

Unless students are with a faculty member, Security cannot permit any students admittance.

Security will provide a phone and phone numbers to auto services that will provide jump-starts for vehicles with dead batteries. We also locate missing vehicles in the parking lot and help physically disadvantaged students and faculty in and out of their vehicles.

Frequently, items found on either campus are turned in to the Student Activities Offices located in the Harvin Center and Coleman Center. Officers make every effort to locate owners of lost property and will leave word in the nearest building in which items were found.
