Reporting Incidents and Crimes

Working together, safety at Chaffey College is everyone’s business.  No community, of course, can be totally risk free in today’s society. Whether you are a victim or a witness, you have the responsibility to report crime.  If a crime occurs on or around Chaffey College, report it immediately to Campus Police at (909) 652-6911 or contact 911.

Campus Police is the primary agency for reporting and investigating all crimes that occur within the Chaffey College District, on any of our campuses.

Crimes in progress and crimes that have just occurred should be reported immediately. Whenever possible, the actual victim or witness of the crime should call directly.  First-hand information is always more accurate and complete.  If someone merely gives you the information and leaves, please include that persons information in your call to the police.

Chaffey College Campus Police, at (909) 652-6911, is staffed 24 hours a day by trained police dispatchers. The dispatchers assign the appropriate police officers, paramedics or emergency workers to handle the calls.  When calling to report a crime or incident, please be ready to give information such as:

• a brief description of the occurrence,
• when and where the incident occurred,
• weapons the suspect(s) carried (in any),
• where and when the suspect(s) was last seen, and
• description of the suspect(s) (including gender, race, age, height, weight, hair color/length, clothing, facial hair, tattoos/scars) and any other relevant information.

 

In addition to the importance of reporting, timely information assists in developing information and warnings for the location.

When a crime is reported to the Campus Police, an officer will take a report outlining the circumstances of the incident, as well as any other pertinent information. The officer receiving the report is also responsible for following through on the case until conclusion.

In all instances of criminal activity, the Campus Police works to determine the exact nature and perpetrator(s) of the crime for the purpose of developing a viable criminal case to be forwarded to the District Attorneys’ Office for prosecution.

In all cases where a student is considered a suspect, the Campus Police will also forward the case information to the appropriate student services office for review and action as a possible violation of the Rules for Student Conduct.
