Crime Awareness and Prevention Program
Crime Awareness/Prevention Bulletin: The occurrence of crime considered to present a threat to members of the campus community is reported on a timely basis through a "Crime Information Bulletin". Copies of the bulletin are posted on bulletin boards throughout the campus, and all college departments are notified through electronic mail. The bulletin provides information on the specific crime(s) that occurred and how to avoid becoming a victim.
Incident/offense report information: The College Safety Office publishes weekly information on all incidents, administrative and criminal, occurring on campus. The information is available in the College Safety Office and is sent to all employees by electronic mail. In addition, the College Safety maintains a Daily Activity Log, and an Incident Report Log that contain the date, time, location, nature and disposition of all on-campus crimes.
Crime statistics: Statistics and security policies, collated in accordance to the guidelines established in the Clery Act (20 USC 1092(f)), are published and distributed annually to all current students and employees; and when requested, to any applicant for enrollment or employment at the college. A copy will also be provided to anyone, upon request by the Director of College Safety. This information is also available here, and at the United States Department of Education web site.
Escort service: An escort service is available to the students, faculty and staff of SCC. A request may be made to the College Safety Department at extension 3-6175, from any emergency call box or phone, or in person at the College Safety office. An officer will respond and will transport you to and from a vehicle or classroom.
Assistance for disabled motor vehicles: Reasonable assistance will be provided to drivers who lock their keys inside their vehicles and/or whose motor vehicle is disabled on campus. After the driver of the vehicle completes a "release of liability" form, an officer will provide a battery boost or will assist in opening the vehicle.
Safety presentations: Members of the College Safety Department provide safety presentations during orientation sessions. They are also available to talk to any department or groups of students. The orientations and talks are designed to educate members of the college community about the services provided by the safety office and how to avoid becoming the victim of a crime at the college.
