Reporting Crimes and Emergencies

BCC students, staff, as well as visitors are encouraged to immediately report to Campus Security any incidents of criminal activity, sexual harassment, racist behavior, or other emergencies.

Security guards may be approached at any time or may be contacted in the following manner:

• by calling ext. 6100 which rings on the radio carried by the guards at all times.
• by using emergency phones located throughout the campus (see back page for listing) which automatically dial security upon lifting of the handset.
• If security staff cannot be reached, incidents can be reported to the Director of Facilities located in F-235, ext 3015; to the Dean of Administration & Finance located in F-225, ext. 3002, or to the Dean of Student Affairs located in F-122, ext, 1602.
• Dial 6100 for medical emergencies. The security guard on duty is trained in basic first aid and is the first to respond to the scene. S/he will also notify the College Health Care Counselor and will order and ambulance if needed.
