Crime & Emergency Reporting

The Safety and Security office is responsible for law enforcement, security and emergency response of the College. The Safety and Security office is located in the Church Hall dormitory (adjacent to Donahue Ferry road). Security is on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and staffed by security officers.

A number of telephones are located in academic buildings throughout the campus. These telephones can be used to report crimes, emergencies or to request security services.

The Director of Safety and Security conducts bi-annual surveys of the campus grounds to ensure that shrubbery, trees and other vegetation do not impede light disbursement or interfere with walkways. The campus community is encouraged to report any safety concerns, exterior lighting and building telephone malfunctions to the Safety and Security office at 308-6505.

Efforts are made to inform members of the campus community on a timely basis about campus and crime related issues. These efforts include the following:

1. Annual Report
   Crime statistics are compiled yearly and are available to the media or any member of the campus community.

2. Louisiana College Website
   Crime statistics may be viewed by accessing our website at http://www.lacollege.edu/security.

Such reports shall be provided to students and employees in a manner that is timely and that will aid in the prevention of similar occurrences.
