Welcome to Parkland College as we start a new year and a new semester. Many of you are returning students, but for the new students I want to give a brief overview of the Parkland College Police Department. The department consists of 14 full-time sworn police officers, including the Chief of Police, three security patrol officers, one Associate Director, four full-time telecommunication officers, and four part time dispatchers.

The Police Department responds to all on campus emergencies and crimes in progress. Each police officer is certified as an EMT-Basic. We provide vehicle assistance such as jump starts, lockout service, and escorts free of charge.

While on campus if you need assistance from the Police Department contact us by:

  • Dialing (217) 351-2369
  • Dialing 2369 from a house phone
  • Dialing 911 on staff/faculty phone
  • Using the emergency call boxes located throughout campus
