It is an unfortunate fact that criminal incidents occur on college campuses. Most colleges around the country investigate and make public the nature and frequencey of crimes. APU follows this practice and believes that reporting this information to the public increases community awareness in preventing criminal activity. APU encourages victims of crime to report incidents to the Department of Campus Safety regardless of how insignficant the crime may appear. An officer will take down the information and make an official report.
University administrators receive reports about crime on a regular basis.
Campus Safety Officers will also assist victims who want to report crimes to the Azusa Police Department. The Department of Campus Safety continues to increase its efforts to prevent crime. During the past few years, the university has dramatically improved lighting in the parking lots and is planning additional improvements. APU has also added patrol officers to increase coverage of the residence hall areas and is expanding the card key system. Students play a key role in the prevention of crime on campus.
