Campus Safety, Security, & Emergency Preparedness

Ensuring a Safe Place to Study and Work

Mission Statement

It is the duty of each department team member to provide fair, impartial, and professional safety, security and emergency response service to all persons who enter our campus. Our professionalism will be recognized by our deeds, actions, attitude, and positive work ethic. As part of the Edmonds College team, we will safeguard the people, resources, and facilities of these “halls of education.”

Mode of Operation

Edmonds College provides campus public safety through our Safety, Security and Emergency Preparedness Department (SSEP), which operates 24 hours a day year round.

The department facilitates the safety and security of the students, staff, faculty, visitors, and property of EC. SSEP is a service-oriented organization promoting safety, security, education, preparedness, and personal responsibility. It coordinates all safety, preparedness, emergency response and recovery operations on campus.

The department consists of the Director, Assistant Director of Security Operations, and Assistant Director of Emergency Preparedness, Health and Safety, a Program Specialist, an Office Assistant and twelve full-time Security Officers.
