CAMPUS SECURITY PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES PROGRAMS

The Police and Public Safety Department, along with Student Affairs, and the Residential Life/Housing Office, holds sessions each semester on such topics as personal safety awareness, rape and sexual assault prevention, and burglary of dorm rooms and auto theft prevention. The majority of these programs are presented during orientation week. Information on safety and security is provided via workshops bulletins, posters, and email to the students and employees notifying them of changes on campus.

 

The Department of Housing and Residential Life provides each student with a copy of policies and guidelines to facilitate a safe living environment conducive to the educational process. These policies include safety and security guidelines, fire safety information, evacuation procedures for residence halls, residence assistants’ responsibility, etc.

The Public Safety Department conducts a Public Safety Department Orientation Program directed to the incoming freshman class. Each student is educated on the mission of the department, its practices, and procedures. Students are encouraged to be responsible for their own security and the security of other students.

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 or Requests for Assistance

• Emergency 911 from dorm or office phone
• Vallejo Police non-emergency-648-5293
• Public Safety Emergency 654-1111
• Public Safety Office non-emergency 654-1176

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.
