Our officers are certified with the State of Oklahoma and hold all powers, authority, and responsibilities granted by the state.
Best Practices

Authority & Jurisdiction
Full authority, clear purpose
The Campus Police Department has established an agreement with the City of Noble that extends to adjacent public roads and property. We work hard to maintain a strong relationship with the city, county, and state officers who serve the district, ensuring cross-jurisdiction cohesion across our community.
Noble Campus PD School Resource Officers are also cross-commissioned with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department under the leadership of Sheriff Chris Amason, giving the department full law enforcement jurisdiction county-wide.
Emergency Preparedness
The Standard Response Protocol
Keeping our students, employees, and visitors safe is a top priority. Noble Public Schools has adopted the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), a clear, common-language framework used by schools and first responders nationwide so that everyone knows exactly what to do — and what to expect — in an emergency.
A note for families on reunification
In an emergency or exigent circumstance, there may be limitations that mean your child cannot be immediately checked out. If a campus is in a Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, or Shelter status, there may be an extended waiting period before reunification can begin.
Noble Campus Police shares your goal of returning your children safely to your arms as quickly as possible — but first we must resolve the emergency situation in front of us. We appreciate your patience and trust while we do everything we can to keep everyone safe.
See Something, Say Something
Report a Safety Concern
If you know of a threat, weapon, act of bullying, or any behavior that could put a student or campus at risk, please tell us. Every report is taken seriously and reviewed by campus police. Share as much detail as you can — who, what, where, and when — so our officers can respond quickly.

School Closings & Inclement Weather
When Oklahoma weather forces a closing, delay, or early release, the district announces it as soon as the decision is made — you don't need to call the school to find out.
Watch Your Phone
Closings go out as a ParentSquare Urgent Smart Alert — text, email, and phone call — to every family. It's the fastest, most reliable channel.

Announcements are also posted to nobleps , so the news is always one click away.
Keep Your Info Current
Alerts reach the phone and email on file in PowerSchool, which syncs nightly to ParentSquare. A current number is the whole ballgame.
Protect OK App
Everyone deserves to feel safe at school, which is why we joined with the Oklahoma School Security Institute to launch ProtectOK, a new safety app that’s easy to use and free to download. The ProtectOK app consolidates all suspicious activity reporting into one easy-to-use platform. The app allows users to report suspicious activity without giving a name, making anonymous reporting easy. Keep your school connected and protected with the free ProtectOK app.
