It is the intent of the Houston Community College System Police Department to inform students and staff, in a timely manner, of any criminal activity or security problems which may pose a reasonable threat to their physical safety. Such information will normally be distributed to students through this website, brochures, and other student publications.
Staff is informed through in-house memos or bulletins and regularly published newsletters.
Another critical element of a campus safety program is training. The Houston Community College System Police Department sponsors programs on various topics ranging from sexual assault awareness to substance prevention. Finally, all effective crime prevention programs include some measure of people watching out for one another. A victim of sexual assault has the option of requesting a concealed identity or use of a pseudonym during the police investigation and prosecution. If the offense occurs on college property and the offender is a student or employee, the victim may consider granting college administrators limited access to the victim's identity for purposes of college administrative discipline action.
