Cape Fear Community College names new campus safety director

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) has hired Wilmington native Greg Troutman as its new director of campus safety and security.

CFCC officials said Troutman joined the college earlier this month with more than 25 years of experience in the security industry, including work in operations, risk management and loss prevention.

“As someone who grew up in Wilmington, it means a lot to be part of a college that serves this community,” Troutman said.

He says he is reviewing the college’s emergency plans, evacuation procedures, hurricane preparations and safety systems. He added that he is also working with New Hanover County Schools to implement the “I Love U Guys” Standard Response Protocol, which provides guidance for communicating and responding during emergencies.

Troutman graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2003 with a criminal justice degree. Before joining CFCC, he worked in the armored trucking industry and as an account manager with Allied Universal.
