Crime Prevention Programs

51ºÚÁÏ¡¯s crime prevention programs are based upon the dual concept of eliminating or minimizing opportunities for crime, while encouraging students and employees to assume responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others by taking common sense precaution. The following is a listing of 51ºÚÁÏ¡¯s crime prevention programs.

• Facilities and Grounds Surveys – All potential safety and security hazards observed by Campus Security Officers on patrol are promptly reported to the appropriate unit for corrective action. The Security Supervisor also participates in the review of the safety issues and concerns of the College.
• Informational/Educational Programs – Informational programs related to sexual assault are offered during the academic year. These programs are publicized in campus publications and through flyers. As appropriate, referrals may be made to outside counseling services or agencies upon request.
