Health & Safety

In 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," which requires colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. This law was renamed in 1992 to the "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act". Recent revisions to the Higher Education Opportunity Act and California Education Code, section 67380, now mandate we inform members of the college community about institutional policies concerning campus security (Including: Community College District Police’s law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, sexual assault and other matters of related importance).

The San Bernardino Community college District Police Department prepares, maintains and publishes the following safety information regarding the Annual Security Report, Crime Statistics, timely warning and emergency notification, daily crime logs and Emergency response evacuation can be found at https://sbccd.org/asr.  To obtain a hard copy of the Annual Security Report at various locations on campus or if you have questions or concerns related to the information contained in this report you can contact San Bernardino Community College District Police Department at (909) 384-4491.
