Security on Kirkwood's Campus

There is a difference between on-campus security and the security at the apartments students may live in.  Kirkwood's Campus security patrol's just the campus grounds and does not reach any of the near-campus apartments.

One of our priorities is that you have a wonderful experience on our campus and enjoy your time at Kirkwood Community College. We have security on campus 24 hours 7 days a week.  

Services Offered:
· 24-hour, 365 days a year campus services.
· Enforcement of college, as well as local, state, & federal laws and regulations.
· Investigative reports and criminal investigation.
· Escorts for students, faculty, and staff.
· Unlocking and jump starting of vehicles on campus.
· Reporting and resolution of environmental safety issues, exterior lighting, signage and other physical hazards.
· Monitoring and enforcement of driving regulations.
· Blue Light Emergency Phones located throughout the main campus.
· Safety and security presentations, including topics such as personal safety and alcohol and drug abuse.

Escorts
It is a good idea to use an escort service, particularly when walking on campus during hours of darkness. Security Escorts can be reached by calling (319)398-5561 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or calling (319)389-1774 after hours and on weekends.

There are other services that can be provided through Campus Security if there is an emergency. You can call the Campus Security cell phone 389-1774.

Apartment Complex Security

Many of the apartments that Kirkwood endorses have private security companies that patrols the grounds 7 days a week. Here at Kirkwood we highly recommend that students obtain this number from the apartment complex office.

The Cedar Rapids Police Department has a on-site office at the Kirkwood Courts & Campus View apartment complex. The CRPD also patrols the apartment complexes regularly because they are on patrol routes.
