Ozarks Technical Community College is committed to providing the members of the college community and visitors with the safest and most secure environment possible; however, even the most extensive initiatives cannot succeed without the awareness and cooperation of the community members who study and work on campus.
Developing a safe and secure environment at an academic institution is the responsibility of the entire community - security personnel, faculty, staff and students. Within our community, the Ozarks Tech Safety and Security Department is assigned the primary responsibility of identifying programs, methods and approaches to help the institution maintain a reasonably safe and secure environment.
The Ozarks Tech Safety & Security Department has approximately 50 security officers and staff serving the college community at all six Ozarks Tech campus and center locations. Security personnel are responsible for unlocking and locking college buildings and performing routine laboratory and building inspections for fire and other safety-related problems. Security personnel also patrol buildings, parking lots and college grounds.
Ozarks Tech Safety & Security Department officers begin securing the doors of the buildings (except those to which access is necessary) in the evening at 8:00 p.m. All buildings are locked between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Ozarks Tech Safety and Security Department offices are located at each Ozarks Tech campus and center location and can be reached at the following phone numbers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
- Springfield campus (417) 447-6911

Ozarks Tech Safety and Security Department officers are on call 24/7 for any emergency at all campus and center locations when the college is closed. To report an emergency that requires or may require police, fire, or EMS personnel to respond, please dial 911 from any phone immediately, then call the Safety & Security Department at the campus or center on which the emergency is located.
