Crime Prevention

Sacramento City College actively supports crime prevention through a number of programs.

Emergency Automobile Assistance

Though they are not mechanics, Los Rios Police officers are equipped and trained to start cars with dead batteries or unlock non-electric car doors. Proper identification is required for the performance of these services.

Unlawful Weapons

California Penal Code Section 626.9 (h) prohibits the possession of a firearm on college grounds.

The California Penal Code Section also prohibits the possession of knives 626.10, switchblade 21510, pepper spray 22810 (e) and Tasers/Stun Gun 626.10.

Alcohol

Consumption of, or being under the influence of, alcohol while on campus is strictly prohibited. Violators are subject to suspension, expulsion, and/or criminal prosecution (per Los Rios Policy P-2443: Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace and College Premises).

Emergency Telephones

Outdoor, emergency telephones have been installed at strategic locations throughout the campuses. These blue phones, when accessed, will automatically connect the caller to the Los Rios Police Department.

Emergency Alerts

In the event of an emergency or disaster, Los Rios will provide critical information to students and employees via an emergency alert system. Emergency alerts are issued via text, phone calls, and email. Update your contact information to make sure you receive emergency alerts.
