OPS Staff

The Office of Public Safety consists of Security Officers, a Safety Officer, Peace Officers, a clerical support person, an assistant director and adirector. Eight of your OPS staff are TC3 graduates! 

All of us care deeply about the safety and welfare of all campus members and guests. We have dedicated ourselves to promoting a safe and secure learning campus and are proud to be a part of Tompkins Cortland Community College’s on-going commitment in creating an environment for student success and learning for all. 

Throughout the academic year, we will host open meetings that we hope you will attend. Besides having discussions about personal safety, these also will be opportunities for you to let us know how your public safety professionals are doing. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to say hello when you see us, drop by our offices at room 118, or notify us at Ext. 4290 or by direct dialing 844-6511.
