Emergency Management

Campus Safety Measures 

At NCTC the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors are always our priority. With campus wide support, the NCTC PD has hundreds of people involved in keeping the campus safe and secure. However, a truly safe campus can only be achieved through the cooperation of all students, faculty, and staff.

To ensure the fastest response to your emergency, dial 911 from any campus phone or (940) 668-4270 from a mobile phone. The emergency call will be directly answered by an NCTC police officer. If you dial 911 from a cellular phone, the emergency call will be directed to your nearest local police department.

In the event of a campus emergency there are protocols in place that can help you understand and know what to do. Below is a list of protocols that everyone should make themselves aware in order to help yourself and/or others around you.

Public Sex Offender Registry

State law requires persons convicted of or placed on deferred community supervision for certain offenses to register as a sexual offender. Offenders who committed "sexually violent" offenses (most contact offenses) must register for the remainder of their life, even after completing probation or parole. Others (some non-contact offenses) may not be required to register ten years after completing their term of probation or parole. You may access the Texas Sex Offender Registration free of charge.
