Security and Safety

https://www.lanecc.edu/administration/public-safety-department

The Federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, requires colleges to publish information about crime on their campuses.

A copy of Lane's Annual Security (Clery) Report is located at www.lanecc.edu/administration/public-safety-department/clery-compliance-information or may be obtained in writing at the Public Safety office. At Lane, security and safety are college-wide efforts. With students, faculty, and staff committed to prevention, crime can be minimized.

The Lane Community College Public Safety Department provides direct services to the 30th Avenue campus, Downtown Campus, and Titan Court. The Cottage Grove and Florence campuses, Lane's Aviation Academy, KLCC radio station, and the Willamette Dental Clinic receive investigative, training, prevention, and consulting services from Public Safety, but are primarily served by their local law enforcement agencies. Police departments in these jurisdictions also report incidents to the college's Public Safety department. Public Safety provides services at the Downtown Campus including the Titan Court residential facility 6 days a week. To contact a downtown officer, call 541-463-6267.

Lane Community College Public Safety Officers are certified under the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Officers maintain an atmosphere conducive to education, contribute to a safe campus environment, enforce parking and traffic regulations, conduct investigations of reported crimes, and share reports with other law enforcement agencies.

Public Safety officers are authorized to enforce motor vehicle and parking laws on campus. Officers are charged with responding to crimes, medical emergencies, and violations of college policy/rules or college policy violations. In addition, officers utilize law enforcement tools such as the Criminal Justice Information System and other investigative systems.

These referrals include, but are not limited to: The Gender Equity Center, the Title IX officer, Academic and Student Affairs, Veterans Resource Office, Human Resources, the Center for Accessibility Resources, the Counseling Center, and the Mental Health & Wellness Center.
