A Safe Campus Is Everyone鈥檚 Responsibility
Why does crime occur?
Crime occurs when there is a crime triangle consisting of: desire, ability and opportunity. A person may 鈥渨ant鈥 to commit a crime, and have the 鈥渁bility鈥 to commit a crime. Our goal is to deny them the 鈥渙pportunity鈥, when opportunity is taken away, then no crime can be committed. There are steps that can be taken by public safety as well as the college community to prevent crime.
Crime prevention is defined as 鈥the anticipation, the recognition, and the appraisal of a crime risk and implementation of steps to decrease or eliminate it. Crime prevention is the responsibility of the entire 香港六合彩开奖直播 college community. Each member of the college community is an extra set of ears and eyes. Any incident observed by any member of the college community should be reported immediately to a patrol unit or by call Public Safety. To aid the reporting of emergencies or incidents on campus, the college has 鈥Safe Haven鈥 emergency telephones inside and outside the buildings and blue light phones along walkways to parking fields. All patrol vehicles have the number to their campuses public safety office, see home page for phone numbers and locations.
Crime can never be completely prevented. Our goal is to encourage everyone to take steps to protect themselves and their property. When safety tips are followed we can reduce the opportunity for crime to occur, on as well as off campus.
