Vincent Contreras
Community Service Officer
Vincent Contreras joined Shasta College Campus Safety in early 2023, bringing with him a strong background in de-escalation techniques from his previous work supporting adults with developmental challenges. As a Community Service Officer, Vincent helps maintain a safe campus by upholding District rules, enforcing the student code of conduct, reporting illegal activity, and occasionally dealing with local wildlife—like the occasional rattlesnake.
Vincent is passionate about helping others and breaking down barriers between students and uniformed officers. As a student himself, he understands the challenges others face and believes that small gestures—like a kind word or asking someone’s favorite color—can go a long way.
Outside of work, Vincent is studying cybersecurity at Shasta College. He enjoys video games, hiking, programming, music, and diving deeper into the world of cybersecurity. Most of all, he values his family, friends, and the opportunity to serve his community.
