Daily Crime & Fire Report

NCTCPD maintains a daily crime log recording reported crimes that occur on each campus, in or on non-campus buildings or property or on public property within the campuses, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campuses. These records are available to the public within two business days of the initial report unless disclosure is prohibited by law, would jeopardize the safety of an individual, compromise an ongoing investigation, would cause evidence to be destroyed, or cause a suspect to flee.

Campus & Constitutional Carry

In 2015, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 11, which allows licensed persons to conceal carry a firearm on college or university campuses. On June 16, 2021, Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1927, the Firearm Carry Act of 2021 (commonly known as the constitutional carry bill) into law that allows legally eligible gun owners 21 years and older to carry their firearms without a Texas License to Carry (LTC).

However, each institution was allowed to establish reasonable rule and regulations in complying with Senate Bill 11 and HB 1927 did not change any of the requirements for Campus Carry. You are encouraged to read all information regarding NCTC rules and regulations regarding Campus & Constitutional Carry.

Racial Profiling Prohibited

The North Central Texas College Police Department (NCTCPD) fully complies with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB 1074).

Each law enforcement agency in this state shall adopt a detailed written policy on racial profiling. This policy must implement a process by which an individual may file a complaint with the agency if the individual believes that a peace officer employed by the agency has engaged in racial profiling with respect to the individual" (CCP Art. 2.132 (b)(3).

The NCTCPD has an established policy prohibiting racial profiling in accordance with state and federal law. This policy is strictly enforced, and the department will take immediate and appropriate action to investigate any allegations of racial profiling. The policy applies to all members of the department, both commissioned and non-commissioned.

It is the policy of the North Central Texas College Police Department to accept and fully investigate all complaints against the department, or its members, and to obtain a final disposition to those complaints so as to maintain the integrity of the department and secure the support it needs from the community.
