Campus Security
DeKalb Tech provides campus surveillance with qualified security officers who have prior experience in security and law enforcement.

The parking lots are patrolled regularly during the day and evening with the assistance of motorized vehicles equipped with emergency lighting and the ability to assist other vehicles with minor problems. Parking permits are used to identify vehicles authorized to be on campus, facilitate students with vehicle mechanical problems, isolate accidents, and identify illegally parked vehicles.

The areas between buildings and in the hallways are patrolled regularly to ensure that the environment is safe and conducive to learning. Currently enrolled or prospective students, faculty, staff, and authorized guests are the only persons allowed on campus -- and then in areas appropriate to their legitimate activities.
