The Angelina College Police Department (ACPD) is committed to providing a safe and secure college environment and community for everyone who works, learns, and lives within the College’s service area. As shown in our Annual Security and Fire Report, our campus is very safe.
Angelina College Law Enforcement Officers are fully empowered by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and have full authority to stop vehicles, make arrests, and enforce all state laws. The Angelina College Police Department has jurisdiction within the twelve (12) county service district of Angelina College.
ACPD strongly encourages the campus community to promptly report crimes or emergencies to ACPD, even if/when the victim of a crime cannot or will not make a report.
ACPD investigates and reviews all reports and complaints of criminal activity that occur on campus and off- campus if the crime involves an employee or student within ACPD’s jurisdictional boundaries.
The College utilizes third-party software to send text messages to members of the campus community. The communication platform, RAVE, is used for mass notification and response personnel notification. Emergency notifications and instructions are sent via text messages, phone calls, and emails to phone numbers and emails that are registered with the College. It is extremely important that every student and staff member register their phone number and email with the College to ensure they receive emergency notifications.
