Woodland City Council Reviews Security Measures at WCC Following Public Comment

The Woodland City Council meeting on September 2, 2025, began with a roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a land acknowledgment honoring the Puttwin people. The meeting opened with public comments, where community member Mr. Voorhees expressed gratitude for the council's support of the return program with Woodland Community College (WCC).

Mr. Voorhees highlighted ongoing discussions with Officer Flores, who serves as the security liaison at WCC. He emphasized the importance of enhancing personal security measures for students and staff at the college. Mr. Voorhees is advocating for improved security protocols, including the implementation of the Skynet program, which involves police surveillance to ensure safety on campus.

He also mentioned efforts to establish a system for background checks for business professional certificates and to access incident reports already in place at WCC. Mr. Voorhees requested that Officer Flores consult with Chief Cannon to discuss further security measures that could be implemented to better protect students at the college.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to community safety and the ongoing collaboration between local law enforcement and educational institutions. Further discussions on these topics are expected in future meetings as the council continues to address public safety concerns.
