Reporting procedures

If you are a victim of a criminal act, contact the department of security to make a report of the incident. The incident will be documented and the department will contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on all felony crimes and they will conduct an investigation of the incident. The investigation will assist the department in preventing future incidents. The investigation will also assist in the prevention of future incidents by processing the guilty party through the appropriate system, either University or local court.

If you witness a crime or suspicious person or incident, contact the department of security at once. Your awareness and input are essential to campus crime prevention.

If an incident occurs off campus, the department of security can assist you in contacting the appropriate law enforcement agency.

The department of security prepares written reports for all criminal activities, as well as written reports for vehicle and personal accidents. All reports are strictly confidential. Copies of traffic accident reports for insurance purposes, may be obtained from the department of security administrative office by your insurance agency. The insurance agency must submit a written request for a copy of the report.

Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990

Title II of Public Legislation 102-26, called the "Campus Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," requires colleges and universities to distribute to all current students and employees and applicants for enrollment or employment, two types of information: (1) descriptions of policies relating to campus security; and (2) statistics concerning specific types of crimes. A description of these policies and statistics is given in this booklet.

Statistics, crime prevention tips, and general information on security topics are also published and distributed during the school year in the TODAY, although they may not appear in every issue. The TODAY is published monthly by the office of University relations located in Burden Hall.

Reports are also made on a monthly basis to University administration via the office of the vice president for financial affairs and the University safety committee via the office of safety, risk management. Statistics and information contained in these reports may be obtained by contacting the department of security or the office of the vice president for financial affairs.
