Investigation and Enforcement
The College of the Redwoods 校园安全 Officers provides safety for persons and property on campus, responds to emergency situations, assist in medical emergencies and other related safety needs, as well as enforce campus parking regulations. 校园安全 Officers have the authority to ask persons for identification and to determine whether individuals have lawful business at College of the Redwoods. 校园安全 Officers have the authority to issue parking citations.
In the case of an emergency call 911 or our emergency line x4111. If a situation does not actually rise to the level of an imminent emergency, 学生, 教师, 工作人员, and visitors may speak to one of our officers by calling the office at 707-476-4112.
校园安全 oversees the reporting and investigation of all criminal incidents on the campus and strongly encour年龄s all victims to make timely reports. Campus Safety officers are non-sworn, but are authorized to make a Public Citizen's arrest according to California Penal Code § 837. It states that a private person may arrest another:
- For a public offense committed or attempted in his presence.
- When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence.
- When a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it.
Persons committing these criminal violations on campus are reported (arrested if necessary), and given to the local police 年龄ncy for prosecution through the criminal justice system. In case of an emergency that poses a threat to the safety and well-being of those on campus, the police are immediately notified and CR 校园安全 plays a support role to their efforts.
The CR 校园安全 maintains a positive working relationship with the law enforcement 年龄ncies where we have campuses or sites located. Criminal incidents are referred to the local law enforcement 年龄ncy that has jurisdiction on the campus. All crime victims and witnesses are strongly encour年龄d to immediately report the crime to 校园安全 and the appropriate law enforcement 年龄ncy.
