Reporting of Crimes and Other Emergencies

In the event of an on-campus emergency—that is, a dangerous or life-threatening situation—students should first call BJH Department of Public Safety. All suspected criminal action (such as bomb threat, theft, abuse, etc.) that occurs on campus must be reported to campuses security authorities. Security campus authority will access all situations and determine if outside authorities should be contacted.

Provide public safety or the police with the time, description, and location of the incident. If known, also provide the names of individuals involved in the incident. You may request to remain anonymous when reporting a crime.

Public safety officers or designated campus security officials who are informed of the commission of a serious crime such as outlined in the Annual Security Report are required to report the information to the appropriate personnel for entry into the Annual Security Report. Reports concerning campus crimes become part of the crime statistics for the College, which are published annually by the Department of Public Safety in the Annual Security Report.
