New TCC security phone number and mobile app to launch Jan. 13

Beginning Jan. 13, 2020, Tidewater Community College is using one single phone number for TCC security at all TCC locations.

Simply dial 757-822-7777 and you will be connected to the new TCC Central Security Center located on the Virginia Beach Campus. Experienced dispatchers will receive your call and take the necessary actions to resolve it.

From a TCC phone, you need only dial 2-7777. And if your phone is in the 757, you may drop the area code.

What about 911?

In an immediate life-threatening emergency, such as a fire, sudden illness or other imminent danger, call 911 first! The cities’ 911 responders will be in communication with TCC’s Central Security Center.

More in the Omnigo App

TCC is also launching the Omnigo Community, a mobile phone app designed to improve communication among students, staff, faculty and TCC’s Public Safety Department.

Users have the ability to report a crime or suspicious activity. The app will provide informational resources, such as campus maps, student handbook and a crime log. The app will also enable users to live chat with a public safety dispatcher and report information anonymously.

Omnigo Community is free to students, staff and faculty and is available through the Apple Store and Google Play Store.

Search for Omnigo Community and download the app. Enter the Organizational ID as Tidewater Community College and the PIN, 1122.
