Crime Reporting Procedures
Reporting
The Public Safety Department is
located in the Special Projects and Extended Learning Center at the top of Faculty Road across from Bodnar Field. The department
encourages all campus members to report
all crimes, accidents, or incidents that
occur on or near the campus. The
individual making the report does not
have to prove that a crime has occurred;
any suspicious activity is sufficient to
warrant a report to the Community
Service Officer on duty. Reports may be
made in person, by phone, or in writing.
A Community Service Specialist (CSS) is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days per
week, and can be reached by calling
654-1176 or 654-1111 for any emergency.
Please be prompt in reporting all
criminal incidents and medical
emergencies to us. Potential criminal
actions and any medical emergency on
campus should be directly reported to
the Public Safety Department by dialing
ext. 1111 from any on campus phone. You
may also dial 9-911 and contact the
Vallejo Police Department (VPD)
Emergency Operator. Upon receipt of the
call, officers will be dispatched to
investigate and have the authority to
make an arrest in some cases, and
relinquish custody of the suspect to the
VPD.
When you call Public Safety or the
Vallejo Police, please provide the
following information:
- Your name;
- The location of the incident you
are reporting;
- A description of the scene and
suspects;
- A description of any vehicles
involved in the incident, especially
a license plate number; and
- The nature of the incident.
After a call or report is made to
Campus Public Safety, a CSS will
respond. The focus of the initial
response will be the safety of all
persons involved in the incident. The
officer(s) will initially investigate
each report and provide follow-up work
as necessary to bring each incident to a
final disposition. If outside assistance
is needed (i.e., Vallejo Police, Fire,
ambulance, etc.,) the call will be
placed by the security officer. Serious
crimes or life threatening emergencies
should be reported to the Vallejo Police
Department immediately.
When initial reports are made to
Vallejo Police Department, notify Cal
Maritime’s Public Safety Department so
timely warnings are made to the campus
community.

Reporting Crimes to Campus
Community
Whenever crimes occur on or near the
campus, that may present a threat to the
campus community, the Public Safety
Department makes timely reports to the
campus community. This is done through:
- Weekly Bulletin notices
- Crime Alert Notices posted on
bulletin boards and kiosks on campus
- E-mail
- A daily activity crime log,
which is available for review 24
hours a day at the Public Safety
Department
Faculty, staff and students should
report crimes to Public Safety, which
can be reached 24 hours a day. It is our
goal to provide assistance to insure
that we include the crime in our annual
security report.
