Campus Security

The following statements provide information regarding compliance with the requirements under the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act also known as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Act. This information is distributed to all students and staff through the college portal and is made available to other individuals upon request. The report provides statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on the EICC campuses; in certain off-campus buildings and property; or public property immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campuses. The report also includes information about institutional policies concerning campus security.

The reports are prepared in conjunction with local law enforcement to accurately show the activities on the campuses.

For more information refer to the Student Handbook.

Campus Crime Statistics Support Annual Campus Safety and Security Report

EICC takes every possible precaution for crime prevention. Should an individual observe a crime or suspicious behavior at one of the EICC locations, the victim or persons having knowledge of the incident should immediately contact the local law enforcement at 9-911. Additionally, the behavior should be reported to the Dean of Student Development or Facilities Manager. The district Administrative Procedures Manual contains the policies of the District relative to campus security procedures and the reporting of incidents. This manual is available at each college and can be accessed from the District Intranet site.

Security systems are in place at facilities owned or controlled by the college. The Facilities Manager is responsible for ensuring that security systems are in place which protect and control access to the buildings. District buildings are generally open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to the end of classes.  The facilities may be open at other times for special events, or by arrangements.

In the event that a situation arises, either on or off campus, that, in the judgment of the Dean of Student Development, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus wide timely warning will be issued without delay. This warning will be posted on monitor systems throughout the campuses, as well as through the EICC Alert system, and over the intercom system as appropriate.

In the effort to keep students safe and informed in weather and other emergency situations, EICC provides a mobile text message alert system to help notify students, faculty, and staff of school closings and other important information with EICC Alert.  All current students and staff can quickly and easily enroll in this program at no additional expense.

EICC takes the safety of its students and staff seriously.  Incidences should be made to the Dean of Student Development of Facility Manager or the building manager at each location.  These individuals will assess the report and determine the need for additional action.  In the event of an incident that involves an immediate threat of the health or safety of students and staff, a notification will be made using the monitor system, intercom system at each locations, and EICC Alert. The announcement will advise the actions that should be taken by all individuals. As appropriate, information regarding incidences on campus will be released to community resources.
