Campus Security

KCC has had good experience relative to maintaining a safe and secure campus environment and wishes to continue these favorable conditions through cooperation among the college's security personnel, students and staff.

The college has a contracted security service which patrols parking areas, campus buildings and grounds. The college's Physical Plant Department staff and administration also are dedicated to maintaining campus safety and security.
