Welcome to Rio Hondo College’s Public Safety Division. The Division of Public Safety offers students the opportunity to learn, obtain, train, and apply traits that will allow them to seek employment in different areas of the public sector. Employment can range in many areas of our government as well as the private sector, but all have the same interest in mind, to make sure our neighborhoods are safe places to live, work, and play.
