At Delta, we take safety seriously. We are here to provide top-notch safety services by creating a secure place for you to reach your dreams.
Public Safety
Delta works very closely with Federal, State, County and all local law enforcement. Our officers are responsible for all law enforcement and security on campus and the four surrounding roads.
Our police officers are trained in the same manner as all other law enforcement officers in the State of Michigan and are certified through the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES). In other words, we've got your back.

In collaboration with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), the Department of Public Safety participates in National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Unused or expired medications can be turned in to Delta College Public Safety Office during normal business hours for safe disposal. The service is free and anonymous.
The safety ambassador program at Delta College is a network of individuals identified
to assist with safety related activities. Easily identified by their green vests,
safety ambassadors play an active role in coordinating all fire and take shelter drills
on campus. Additionally, each ambassador maintains a supply of first aid items such
as band aids in their work area which can be distributed to students, employees and
visitors. Safety ambassadors can be identified in their work area by a red badge located
next to their office name plate.
