Cleary Act
Megan's Law

It is an unfortunate fact that criminal incidents of all types occur on college campuses. Colleges around the country investigate and make public the nature and frequency of crimes. Bakersfield College follows this federal mandate and believes that reporting this information to the public increases community awareness about taking steps to prevent criminal activity.

Bakersfield College encourages victims of crimes to report incidents to the Department of Public Safety regardless of how insignificant the crime may appear. To report a crime, a victim or witness should call (661) 395-4554 or utilize one of the Code Blue Lights placed around campus. College administrators receive reports about crime on a regular basis. Public Safety Officers will also assist victims who want to report crimes to the Bakersfield Police Department.

The Department of Public Safety has taken several steps to prevent crime. Some of these efforts include:

24-hour patrol
Officers dispatched by radio
Alarms in key areas
Card key entry systems in areas
On campus escort service
Video surveillance
