Campus Safety
Reporting a Crime
Every member of the College community, including visitors, are encouraged to immediately report incidents and criminal activity of which they are the victim or which they may witness to Campus Safety by dialing 323-259-2511 or "5" from any campus telephone.
Please be prepared to describe the incident, where it occurred, and at what time. Campus Safety treats all "reporting party" information as sensitive; there is no established anonymous tip line reporting process in place. If there are suspects, describe the individuals' appearance and clothing worn. Examples include: height and weight, hair type and color, and color of clothing. The Campus Safety department strongly discourages individuals from approaching suspects. It is best to relay the information to Campus Safety and keep us apprised of any changes in the disposition of the crime.
When making a crime or incident report, a Campus Safety officer will meet the victim and obtain all of the necessary information for a report and begin an investigation if necessary. When appropriate, victims are advised to contact the LAPD to file an additional report and to notify Campus Safety with the case number.
