REPORTING A CRIME
Walking-In
You can report a crime at the police station 365 days a year. The every step of the way.
police station is located in the Sierra Madre building, SM 153.
Emergency Call Boxes
Emergency Call Boxes (ECBs) are located in, or adjacent to,
most campus parking lots. They are connected to the Police
Department Communications Center by phone line, and each
one emits an identifier code that alerts the Police Dispatcher
of the location of the box being activated. It is important for
campus community members to learn the locations of ECBs,
especially those located along frequently traveled campus
routes (maps are available at the station). To use the system:
1. Follow the instructions on the box.
2. When the button is pushed and the ECB is activated it
immediately alerts the Police Dispatcher by phone. Speak
clearly into the box.
3. If, for any reason, you are unable to talk into the ECB, you
can summon assistance by pushing the button and waiting
next to the ECB. An officer is dispatched to the ECB each
time it is activated.
Incident Reporting
The College endorses a reporting policy that strongly
encourages victims to report all criminal incidents to the
police immediately, regardless of their nature. It is important
that all criminal activity occurring on campus be reported
to ensure that appropriate action can be taken. On-campus
crime should be reported to the GCCPD. Emergencies are best
reported using campus emergency extension 4000, and non-
emergencies are better reported using campus extension 5205.
The GCCPD has the primary jurisdiction and responsibility
for investigating crime and providing police service to the
campus. The GCCPD relinquish primary authority to the
City of Glendale Police Department for providing opera-
tional responsibility for all Part 1 violent crime including
the investigation of willful homicide, forcible rape, robbery
and aggravated assault occurring on GCC District property.
