Students' Right To Know

SAN JUAN COLLEGE SECURITY

It is the mission of the San Juan College Security Department to ensure a safe and secure campus environment for students, staff and visitors to the College. San Juan College does not tolerate violent, abusive, or criminal behavior on campus, and has established pro-active policies and procedures to ensure such behavior does not occur. The College encourages the reporting of theft, vandalism, violence and any other criminal activity to the Security Department, which is charged with actively preventing and aggressively investigating illegal activity on campus.

Reflecting the high quality of students and campus visitors, San Juan College maintains a very low campus crime* rate. During the 2005-2006 school year there were two burglaries committed on campus, one unlawful entry-no force, one drug law violation arrest, and two arrests for liquor law violations. There were no aggravated assaults, robberies, motor vehicle thefts, arson, hate crimes, off-campus burglaries, criminal homicides, sex offenses, or illegal weapons possessions.

Campus Security Officers provide protection to College facilities, personnel and visitors; they are not sworn police officers. However, Campus Security Officers are in constant communication with the Farmington Police Department and the police are immediately available to respond to requests for assistance. The College and the Security Department maintain close ties with local and state law enforcement agencies, and have procedures in place for sharing information on criminal activity on campus.

For detailed policies and procedures regarding student’s rights and responsibilities; policies and information regarding alcohol and drugs on campus or within the city of Farmington as well as resources for students with substance abuse problems, please refer the Student Handbook. The Campus Security and Crime Awareness Policy and information regarding sexual assault or harassment are also found in the Student Handbook.

* Crimes as defined by federal reporting guidelines.
