Police and Public Safety
The NWACC Police and Public Safety Department is staffed by certified police officers and facilitates a safe and secure learning environment which allows the college community to advance and prosper.
The college shares many of the same crime and security challenges as the area counties and cities. NWACC police investigate and follow up on all reports of criminal activity on campus. In some cases, officers are assisted in their investigations by other area law enforcement agencies.
NWACC officers are constantly undergoing training, including yearly qualifying firearm training and monthly simulator training. They are also CPR and AED certified.

Law Enforcement Authority
NWACC's police officers are duly commissioned law enforcement personnel whose police authority is derived from Arkansas State Statute #25-17-304 which provides them with the same powers as any municipal, county, or state police agency in Arkansas. This includes powers of arrest. NWACC's police personnel work with area law enforcement agencies in providing police services to the college.
