Access to Buildings
All PCC Buildings are monitored by the Titan Security Services and the PCC Facilities Services staff during normal working hours and as scheduled during weekend, evening, and holiday hours. Questions regarding building access can be directed to the Facilities Services Office at 719-549-3345 or 719-549-3291.
Law Enforcement on Campus
The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office serves as the official law enforcement agency for Pueblo Community College. This agency responds to all activities of a criminal nature. PCC employs Titan Security Services during normal working hours and on evenings and weekends when events are scheduled. This security service cannot make arrests; however, they can detain individuals until Pueblo County Sheriff’s officers arrive. They are employed to make building, parking lot, and college grounds security checks. They also assist students, employees, and the general public in ways to make the campus a safe and secure environment.
Reporting Crimes
If you are a victim of crime or have witnessed a crime on the PCC Campus, you should immediately report the crime to PCC Titan Security Services. You may also report this crime directly to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department prior to reporting to PCC. PCC staff will report all crimes to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department.
Programs for Safety and Crime Prevention
Programs about campus safety and crime prevention will be scheduled each semester. Notices of programs will be posted on the Student Network and the campus e-mail distribution system.
Reporting Emergencies
If you discover a medical emergency that requires immediate emergency medical assistance, you should immediately contact the Pueblo Emergency Response System by calling 911 either from any PCC office phone or from any pay phone (this is a toll-free call). Students do not have to receive permission to use an office phone in an emergency situation. You must then report this incident to the nearest college faculty, staff, or administrator.
Sexual Assault Information
If a student has in any way experienced a sexual assault on the PCC Campus, the student should immediately report this to either the PCC Titan Security Services or to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department. If the student reports it to Titan Security Services first, then the College will take steps to assure that the report has been filed with the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Department. If a student is a victim of a sexual assault that occurs off campus, the student should immediately report it to their local law enforcement agency.
Registered Sex Offenders
Information concerning persons who are required by Colorado law to register as sex offenders, including registered sex offenders who are enrolled, employed, or volunteering at Pueblo Community College, may be obtained from the Pueblo Police Department, 130 Central Main, Pueblo, CO, 719-549-1200 or the Pueblo County Sheriffs Department, 909 Court, Pueblo, CO, 719-583-6125.
Evidence is Important
A victim of a sexual assault should always remember to preserve all evidence so that law enforcement agencies can build as strong a case as possible. Immediate reporting is a MUST! Always remember to note characteristics of the person who is assaulting you: clothing, height, weight, color of hair and eyes, and other identifying items such as scars and body shape.
Community Resources
Victims of sexual assault can receive crisis intervention and referral services from either the PCC Counseling Staff located in the College Center, Room 258 (719-549-3030) or from the Rape Crisis Helpline (719-544-1133)
