Mission Statement
The mission
of the District Safety Department of the Rancho Santiago
Community College District is to serve and protect the people
and property at all district locations to ensure a safe and
secure educational environment that encourages personal and
intellectual growth.
To accomplish this mission, our primary activity is to perform
visible and continuous patrols of district properties so that we
are available to our students, staff and guests, to perform
safety and security services and to deter crime. Each officer is

courtesy, consideration, empathy, self-control, impartiality,
and honesty. The department will work cooperatively with all
others in the district to establish mutual trust and respect.
