GWC Public Safety Office
Golden West College maintains a Public Safety Department with personnel available 24 hours a day. A person may report any criminal action or emergency at any time - day or night - by calling 714.895.8924 or for emergencies 714.895.8999, or by coming in person to the Public Safety Office located at the west end of the campus at the entrance of the Golden West Street parking lot, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
Parking Permits
$30 per semester ($20 for Board of Governors Grant recipients) and $15 for the summer session. A current Golden West College Parking Permit is required to park a vehicle in campus parking lots. Permits may be purchased on-line through the college's website during normal operating hours. The permit must be displayed in clear view on the left rear bumper (driver’s side) or hung from the inside rear view mirror so as to be clearly visible. Mechanical permit dispenser machines are available in each parking lot for parking by the day. Failure to properly display a valid parking permit may result in the issuance of a citation. A student whose permit is lost or stolen must purchase a new permit.
The goal of the Public Safety Department is to provide members of the academic community with a safe and orderly environment in which to work and learn.
Golden West College is fortunate to be located in one of the safest cities in the country.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation perennially lists the City of Huntington Beach as one of the top 100 safest large cities in the United States.
