Because of this, all victims of or witnesses to a crime are strongly encouraged to report the crime immediately to Campus Safety, either in person at the department, or by dialing x-3111 or using a Blue Light Emergency Telephone. When a criminal incident is reported to Campus Safety, a formal police report is prepared. The offense is classified according to guidelines set forth by the F.B.I. Uniform Crime reporting Section, U.S. Department of Justice. The Department of Campus Safety provides information to the student campus newspaper, Hood Today, including a log that lists the date, time, location and description of the criminal activity and other incidents that occur on campus. Campus Safety officers distribute pamphlets, posters and brochures on topics concerning crime prevention, which may include general crime awareness, bicycle safety, and security.
Officers are available, by prior arrangements, to speak to students, staff, groups or organizations.
These officers will meet with the residents at least once a month to discuss problems, upcoming events, and answer questions. The Hood College Department of Campus Safety works in partnership with students, faculty and staff to maintain a safe secure environment conducive to excellence to teaching, learning, and research. If you have any questions or complaints about our police services, we wish to address and resolve is quickly and appropriately. The Departments of Campus Safety and Information Technology are currently identifying locations in academic buildings to install additional emergency phones. A blue light will designate these phones.
