Through these efforts, we draw upon these resources to assist our department. The College Police Department is the primary reporting agency for the campus, and all offenses and incidents should be reported to this department. Dallas Police sometimes take reports since Richland College is in Dallas. The Dallas Police Department supplies the College Police Department with monthly accounts of the reports handled by the Dallas department. With this information the College Police can identify the actual number of incidents.
Accurate information is vital in our department efforts to reduce crime on campus.
All offenses occurring on the Richland College campus should be reported directly to the Richland College Police Department by calling 6911 from any on-campus phone. These offenses may have been reported to both the Richland College and Dallas Police Departments. The reporting year is defined as January 1 through December 31. These times may be different during holidays, and summer semesters. Service areas such as the computer labs and library may have different hours from those times listed above.
