ECC police officers are constantly patrolling the hallways, parking lots and other areas of the college so that our presence is a deterrence to the crime of theft. Guarding of your personal belongings and valuables in conjunction with police presence helps make a real difference at ECC.
In an effort to provide timely notice to the college community in the event of a serious incident which may pose a threat to members of the college community, the police chief may issue a crime alert on all campuses. Crime alerts are usually posted for the following classifications: murder and non-negligent manslaughter; negligent manslaughter; forcible sex offenses; non-forcible sex offenses; robbery; aggravated assault; burglary; motor vehicle theft; arson; all hate crimes; liquor law violations resulting in an arrest or disciplinary referral; drug law violations resulting in an arrest or disciplinary referral; and illegal weapons violations resulting in an arrest or disciplinary referral.
