What We Do

The members of the North Carolina Association of Community College Safety and Security Officials (ACCSSO), in partnership with the Environmental Health and Safety Institute (EHSI) are committed to working together to ensure that all fifty-eight community colleges and technical institutes are able to provide their respective institutions with the highest levels of safety and security.

 

Our Mission

The mission of the North Carolina Association of Community College Safety and Security Officials (ACCSSO) is to:

  • Establish safety, security, and emergency management best practices and guidelines.

  • Provide and participate in quality educational programs and other professional development opportunities for all members.

  • Support each other through networking and sharing of knowledge, experience, resources, leadership/organizational skills, and trade skills.

 

“Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.”

— Jeff Cooper
