Division of Public Safety


Public Safety Homepage

Welcome to the Division of Public Safety at Rio Hondo College. We offer students the ability to obtain different levels of education and training. Be it in the form of an Associate of Science Degree, a Certificate of Achievement, or work related training opportunities. Students will learn, obtain, train, and apply traits that will allow them to seek employment in different areas of the public or private sector. It will also provide those already employed re-training or first-hand, hands on training to help them move up in their field of work. 

The Division does NOT handle Public Safety for Rio Hondo College. To report public safety concerns or crimes while on campus, please contact Security at           (562) 908-3490 or (562) 463-3205. FOR EMERGENCIES CALL 9-1-1
