Reporting Crime

If anyone on campus, in or on a non-campus building or property, or on public property within or immediately adjacent to andaccessible from the campus is a victim of a crime, a witness to a crime, has third-party information, or observes suspicious activity, they should immediately report it to the Campus Safety Department by calling 517.750.6911 or by coming into the office.  Crimes can also be reported to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, or the Michigan Department of State Police, by calling 911 or stopping by their police station.

There are also other SAU employees known as “campus security authorities” who will cause your information to be investigated and forwarded to the appropriate authority in a timely manner.  The campus security authorities at SAU are identified as the Chief of Staff, Campus Safety Department, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Vice President for Student Development, Assistant Dean of Students, and Regional Site Directors.  All of these campus security authorities can be reached by dialing 517.750.1200 and asking for the authority of your choice.  The Campus Security Authority will then forward the information to the Campus Safety Department.

Crimes should be reported to the SAU Campus Safety Department to ensure inclusion in the annual crime statistics and to aid in providing timely warning notices to the college’s community, when appropriate.
