Safety Information
Overview
International Student Services reminds all
international students that it is critical to
report all incidents to the police so that the
entire community can remain safe. If police
don't have reports of incidents as they occur,
they are not aware that there is a problem with
safety in particular areas of the city. If they
are not aware of incidents, they can't direct
additional patrols to those areas and prevent
additional crimes, harassment, or other
incidents from taking place. If you are afraid
to report an incident on your own or are unsure
how to do so, please contact an OISS advisor for
assistance
(951.785.2237). Information about
safety and the annual La Sierra University Campus Crime
Report is in the Security Department's web site.
For all emergencies, where your personal safety
or the safety of others is in immediate
jeopardy, call the police using the 911 emergency telephone number from any telephone. (Remember,
if you are on campus, dial 9-911.) You can
also use the emergency call boxes located in
various places on campus, and in University owned
apartments.
If you are not sure how to operate an emergency
call box, look carefully at one as you walk by
it. For those on campus, just press the
indicated button. For those some, you
first have to open the box. There is a small
black handle on the right side of the box. Press
in the large black button on the handle and pull
the handle toward you to open the box. Once
open, there is a button to press, like the ones
on campus. Remember, pressing the inside button
will automatically call the police, and they
will know which call box you are calling from.
For any non-emergencies (or after an incident
occurred that you didn't report but now want to
report), you can either call the police or call our Security department to help you make a report.
To help protect your neighbors or others
from experiencing problems, please encourage
everyone you know to file reports when they
occur. Remember, if you don't report incidents,
no one can help prevent what happened to you
from happening to someone else.
Below are some general safety tips from the Security Department. If you would like to have any of these
officers come to a student organization club
meeting, they are available to do that.
