Campus Security works with the College community to support a secure learning environment, respond to concerns, share safety information, and help students and visitors know where to turn when they need assistance.

Whether you are coming to campus for class, an event, a meeting, or a visit, our goal is to make sure you feel informed, supported, and prepared.

Here to Help Keep Campus Safe

Campus Security is available to assist with safety concerns, emergency response, incident reports, parking and traffic support, lost and found items, and general questions related to campus safety.

Students, employees, and visitors are encouraged to report safety concerns promptly. If something does not feel right, or if you need help while on campus, Campus Security can help connect you with the right support.

What to do in an emergency

If there is an immediate threat to your safety or the safety of others, call 911.

For emergencies or urgent safety concerns on campus, follow instructions from law enforcement, Campus Security, and College officials. RVCC also uses emergency notification tools to communicate with the campus community during significant emergencies or dangerous situations.

In an emergency, call 911 first. Then follow any instructions provided by law enforcement, Campus Security, or RVCC emergency alerts.

Contact Campus Security Report a Concern

Active Threat Response: Run, Hide, Fight

Run

If there is a safe path, leave the area immediately. Leave personal belongings behind and call 911 when you are safe.

Hide

If you cannot safely leave, find a secure place out of view. Lock or barricade doors if possible, silence your phone, turn off lights, and remain quiet.

Fight

As a last resort, and only if your life is in immediate danger, act decisively to protect yourself.

When Law Enforcement Arrives

Remain calm, keep your hands visible and empty, follow instructions, and avoid sudden movements.
