Smoking In order to promote a healthy learning and work environment, the Chancellor has directed that the Maricopa County Community College District serve as a total smoke-free and tobacco-free environment, effective July 1, 2012. Smoking (including the use of "e-cigs") and all uses of tobacco shall be prohibited from all District owned and leased property and facilities, including but not limited to parking lots, rooftops, courtyards, plazas, entrance and exit ways, vehicles, sidewalks, common areas, grounds, athletic facilities and libraries. Student Responsibility in Crime Prevention The cooperation and personal support of students is crucial to the success of safety and security programs with regard to the campus community. Students must assume some responsibility for their own safety and the security of their personal property. By taking common sense precautions and adopting an awareness of their surroundings and environment, students can greatly reduce the probability of becoming a victim of a crime. To assist the student in becoming better informed, the College Police Department provides the following information: • Certain types of crimes may pose an on-going threat to the campus community. • Notification of an immediate or on-going threat may be disseminated through text messaging and email through the use of the emergency notification system commonly referred to as RAVE Notification, public address system or face-to-face. The College Police Department may use any or all means available to make the necessary notifications. • The College Police Department publishes an annual report identifying the types of crime that have occurred on campus during the fiscal year. The type of crime reported is defined by the FBI in the Uniform Crime Reporting System. • The College Police Department produces a daily crime report which is available for viewing at the College Police office. • The report is prepared annually and is available on the GateWay web site at WWW.GATEWAYCC.EDU/DISCLOSURE/ CRIME.
