Reporting of Criminal Activity And Emergencies

Crime victims, regardless of how seemingly insignificant the crime, are encouraged to promptly report the incident to the Campus Police Department or the appropriate police agency if the occurrence was outside of college property. To report a crime, a victim or witness need only call the Campus Police Department at 303.797.5800, and a campus police officer will meet them to gather the information. An official report is made with copies available to the victim.

Victims and/or witnesses can report crimes on a confidential basis through the silent witness program, and by filling out the online Eyewitness Report form. Students and employees should report criminal offenses for timely warning and statistical reporting purposes to:

Reporting Medical Emergencies
The Campus Police Department has a direct line to the Littleton Police/Fire Departments. The Campus Police Department will contact and coordinate the local emergency responders. Serious medical problems will be handled through the Littleton Fire and Rescue Department. The Campus Police Department will provide basic care for the victim until responders are on scene.

The Campus Police Department only provides basic first aid to individuals with minor injuries: cuts, scrapes, bruises, sprains, strains, insect bites, bee stings. No medication including aspirin will be dispensed.

Transportation for injuries or illness which are non-life threatening but for which medical treatment is needed is the responsibility of the individual. The Campus Police Department does not provide transportation for medical reasons.

The Campus Police Department will provide care for seizure victims until Littleton Rescue Team arrives by protecting the person from injury and keeping the airways clear. If a seizure victim does not want the Littleton Fire and Rescue Department contacted, the Campus Police Department requires written instructions regarding procedures to follow, contact person information, and reasonable care to be provided. Circumstances may prevent written instructions to be followed.

Reporting a Fire
The Campus Police Department will immediately notify the Littleton Fire and Rescue Department. The campus police officers will help with the evacuation and manage traffic in order for fire trucks and rescue vehicles to have clear access to the scene.

Emergency Phones
The campus is equipped with house phones in the classrooms and conference rooms. The Campus Police Department can be contacted by pressing 5800 or 5911 on a house phone; if no immediate answer, hang up and press 9-911. A directory of other service phone numbers is posted next to each phone for your convenience.

Emergency Desk Reference

An Emergency Desk Reference is posted next to each phone on campus to provide quick instructions on what to do in certain emergencies.

Blue Light Phones
ACC campus parking lots and the south walkway are equipped with code blue emergency phones. During business hours these phones ring directly to the Campus Police Department. After normal Campus Police office hours, the emergency phones ring to the Littleton Police Department. Use these phones if you need to report a crime, suspicious activity or person(s), a vehicle problem, or to request an escort. Simply look for the blue strobe light in the parking lot, proceed to the phone and push the red button on the face plate. An emergency services person will answer.
