For Non-Emergencies

Contact the San Bernardino Community College District Police Department (SBCCD PD) at (909) 384-4491. Our business office is located in the Campus Center Building, Room 100.

The main office at the SBCCD PD is open for business Monday – Friday from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (except for holidays and SBCCD academic breaks). The SBCCD PD contracts with California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) PD to provide 24-hour dispatch services for each of the two campuses, as well as the SBCCD District Support Operations. CSUSB dispatchers are POST-certified professionals who answer calls for each of the campuses’ direct phone lines, 9-1-1, and the emergency blue phones located on SBVC campus.

In 1990, the U.S. Congress enacted the "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," which requires colleges and universities to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. This law was renamed in 1992 to the "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act". The San Bernardino Community College District provides this information in the Annual Security Report that is available to all campus community members and the public. This report provides statistical, policy, and procedural information required by the Clery Act. The full text of this report can be accessed from our website at: https://sbccd.edu/district-services/police-department/

In addition to being available at various offices on campus or at the police office in Campus Center room 100.
