Information for All Victims of Crime
Crime can have a lasting impact on victims, their families, and our entire campus community. Victims and survivors of crime have the right to be heard and feel supported.
The Bucks County Community College Office of Security and Safety is committed to the delivery of appropriate services and referrals to victims/witnesses of crime on campus. All members of the Office of Security and Safety are committed to treating victims and witnesses of crimes with respect, compassion, and dignity.
In addition, Security personnel are available upon request to escort you anywhere on campus including to and from campus judicial hearings and/or off-campus criminal court hearings. Victims may also be eligible for medical leaves of absence or a change in their class schedule.
If you are the victim or witness of a campus crime, you are encouraged to take advantage of the services listed below. If, at any time, you have a question or a concern about your safety or what is happening with your case, please contact Security & Safety, 24 hours per day, at: 215- 968-8911.
In an emergency situation, always dial 9-1-1 for an immediate police response.
