PUBLIC SAFETY

The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District Public Safety Department is responsible for emergency preparedness, safety and security for Grossmont and Cuyamaca campuses.

The department is empowered as a Public Safety agency pursuant to section 830.32 of the California Penal Code and fully subscribes to the standards of the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). The department was certified by POST in June 1998 and maintains its certification by meeting and exceeding required standards of training set by POST for all California Police Departments.

The department coordinates closely with the El Cajon Police Department and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and other public safety agencies to protect the safety of our students, employees and visitors. 

The Public Safety Department oversees parking at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges. It also offers these campus services: lost and found, emergency messages, room unlocks, and safety escorts.

The Annual Security Report and the Fire Safety Report are available here, as required by the Clery Act.
