We offer Crime Prevention/Safety Awareness programs and Sexual Assault Prevention programs.

We have 3 full time certified police officers.  On weekend we hire off duty Poteau Police Officers to provide protection to visitors and residents.

Campus police officers are granted authority and jurisdiction pursuant to Oklahoma Statute Title 74, Section 360.17.  Campus officers are commissioned by the Board of Regent and must be certified in accordance with Title 70 Section 3311.  Campus police officers have the same powers, liabilities, and immunities as sheriffs or police officers within their jurisdiction.

A safer campus begins with you.  Think!

Yes.  All Poteau exchange numbers are tied into the Poteau 911 system.  All 911 calls originating on campus land lines are received by the Poteau Police Department Communication Center. 911 calls originating from cellular phones are received by Leflore County 911 system and then dispatched to the appropriate agency (i.e. Poteau Police Department or CASC Campus Police).  The CASC Campus Police would then be dispatched to the location of the 911 call.

Generally reports are available the following business day, after preparation and in-house review.  You may request a copy be faxed or mailed, also, be calling the administrative office at 647-1400 during normal business hours.

The police office is located in HC 309.  It is not staffed 24 hours a day, so it may be necessary to call the Poteau Police Department to have them dispatch an officer to meet you.  You may also contact us through the Office of Student Affairs, located in Hemphill Hall.
