* REPORTING CRIMES AND EMERGENCIES...
On-Campus
- Since the LCC Police Department is staffed 24 hours a day, individuals are
encouraged to report a crime in person at the LCC Police Building or by
calling the Ft. McIntosh at extension 5303 or 721-5303, and LCC South
Campus at extension 4303 or 794-4303.
- Every incident is investigated by a professional full-time police officer.
- Our follow-up activities strive to identify and prosecute criminals,
recover stolen property, and obtain restitution.
- In case of an emergency at Ft. McIntosh dial 111.
- In case of an emergency at South Campus dial 2111.
- Officials at LCC who oversee or have responsibility for student housing,
student activities, student discipline or judicial proceedings to include, but
not be limited to, deans, athletic directors, coaches and faculty advisors,
are considered official campus authorities for purposes of reporting crimes of
which they become aware.
- All crimes reported to Campus Police are recorded in the official LCC
crime statistics report. Reports received from local law enforcement agencies
reflecting crimes that are reported on campus property or public property are
also recorded in the LCC Crime Statistics report.
- Campus Police maintains a daily crime log that lists all crimes reported
to Campus Police or the local police (if notified by the police department),
which occurred on or adjacent to campus, by nature of crime, date, time and
general location, and disposition of complaint (if known). The crime log is
available to the public during normal Campus Police Office business hours.
Certain information may be withheld to protect a victim or the integrity of a
criminal investigation in progress.
Confidential Reporting
Members of the College community may confidentially report incidents, in
which they are victims or witnesses, to any campus official who has
"significant responsibility for student and campus activities." Their
identity will not become part of the official police records system but the
statistic will be included in our annual report if the description
represents a crime subject to reporting. In most cases, it will not be
possible for police to investigate confidential reports.
Professional counselors are not required to report crimes brought to their
attention as part of the counseling process. However, these counselors do
encourage the official reporting of crimes brought to their attention as
long as it does not compromise their counseling responsibilities.
Off-Campus
- A crime or emergency which occurs off-campus should be reported to the
police department having legal jurisdiction for that area by dialing 911
