Sheriff Services
The Sheriffs are available to assist students, faculty and campus
visitors as needed. In addition to their regular duties of crime
prevention, campus patrol and parking control, the College Sheriff
have instituted an assertive program in the areas of personal safety
and crime prevention. The College Sheriff’s Office is located on
Figueroa Place in the P.E. & Wellness Center; Telephone (310) 233-
4600. For emergencies only, dial 311 from any campus phone and
411 from all campus pay phones.
All members of the college community are urged to lend their
support in both reporting crimes and practicing preventive measures
to reduce them. We all share the responsibility for making Los Angeles
Harbor College the safest possible place to work and learn.
• If you must remain in campus buildings after closing
time, notify the Sheriff and make an effort to arrange
your stay in the company of at least one other coworker
or student.
• The campus is well-lighted but it is wise, again, to
employ the “buddy system” when walking to your
car or traveling to other locations.
• Refrain from using shortcuts; stay on the well-traveled
thoroughfares.
• Personal property, purses, briefcases, etc. should not
be left unattended. Take such items with you if you
are leaving the office, classroom or library study area,
or lock them in your desk or file cabinet.
• Try not to carry large amounts of cash on your person
or display large amounts of money.
• Make a record of the serial numbers of both District
and personal property in your office. Engraving
tools are available at the Sheriff’s Office for checkout
to students, faculty and staff for the purpose
of identifying personal property. A record of your
personal credit cards should also be maintained.
• Keep your auto locked, never leave the keys in the
ignition, and avoid leaving property where it is visible
on the seats. Store it in the trunk instead.
• Give your car the quick “once over” before entering
with a critical eye for possible break-in or persons in
the rear seat or floor area.
The College prides itself on the record of safety maintained on
campus; however, effective law enforcement and protection require
citizen cooperation and assistance. The rapid and successful detection
of crime and apprehension of criminals depends heavily on speedy
reporting and dissemination of facts to the Sheriff’s Department.
College Security and Safety
Los Angeles Harbor College prides itself on the safe environment
that exists to encourage learning and enrichment for our community.
Students, faculty, staff, and visitors form a partnership in creating
and maintaining that environment. The College maintains a 24-hour,
7-day a week campus security facility in the PE Wellness Building,
staffed by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs. Contact number (310)
233-4600. Following are annual crime statistics with comparison

As required by the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus
