Public Safety
 Crime Reporting Procedures

All members of the college community are encouraged to report actual or suspected criminal behavior or other emergencies that occur on campus to the Office of Public Safety . If a person is unable or unwilling to make a report to the Office of Public Safety , he/she may make a report to any official at the college. The Office of Public Safety will accept, for investigation, a report of a crime from any member of the college community.

The College of Staten Island has always advocated prompt and accurate reporting of all crimes that occur on campus. Every report of a criminal incident is recorded on a CUNY Public Safety Incident Report and assigned a sequential number for that reporting period.

In all cases of criminal activity, the complainant is encouraged and assisted by the Office of Public Safety to report the incident to the proper law enforcement authorities.

Reporting A Suspicious Person On Campus

If you see a suspicious person on campus or believe that a crime has been committed, notify the Office of Public Safety immediately. Give full details such as physical description, clothing, car make, model and license plate number, etc. Your cooperation is essential in a successful investigation, apprehension and recovering of property.

Weapons Policy

No one within the University community, except peace officers, pursuant to authorization of College Presidents, shall have in his/her possession a rifle, shotgun, firearm or any other dangerous instrument or material that can be used to inflict bodily harm on an individual or damage to a building or the grounds of a campus.

Campus Awareness & Security Act

The Federal Crime Awareness and Security Act of 1990 mandates that every college in the nation publicize the incidents of specific crimes reported on campus. Below are the incidents of the crimes reported to the College of Staten Island.
